lucky me, went through around 6:30 and didnt see anyone, but its the one place I have been stopped. Well, I say stopped, plod on a bike caught up with me at the old holborn juntion where I waited for the lights, sweating heavily and trying to catch his breath! Thought he was gonna keel over, stupid sod! I should have ridden off again, he would never have kept up.

They were blocking off the canal yesterday apparently checking people for bells,
my tri spoke had them mezmorized as they just stared at me all confused as i rode straight through.It's all part of British Waterways campaign for cyclists to ring their bell twice, pass slowly and be nice. Is there anywhere else in London where you see banners demanding you 'be nice'? (they let me through too, I guess we both look nice enough already)

I've got a British Waterways cycling permit, but I gave up riding along there eons ago. Too many twats who can't move an inch or so to their left or right, too many dogs off their leads, and the straw that broke my back: too many kids throwing bricks at me from the bridge at Packington.

Same here, got my BW permit a few years ago, but tend to avoid it now after a few incidents of kids throwing stuff at me from a couple of the estates around camden.

Agreed, It's not like they're covert. More tickets I say.!

The canal is really the only way I can ride to work so I have to ride it.
There are a few sketchy riders along the route but the majority of people
are regulars and know how much room to give others. They just doubled
the width of most of my route though so it's not as bad the main problem
are the guys fishing ...why you would eat anything out of there is beyond me.
The fucking people getting drunk at 8am are the worst though.I've got a British Waterways cycling permit, but I gave up riding along there eons ago.

I remember riding along the canal behind a behemoth of a lady. Her arse was swallowing the seat. She was huffing and puffing, wobbling from side to side. I decided to wait to overtake as there was a bit of oncoming traffic when she wobbled a little too far left and went straight in the drink.
I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard. I stopped and tried to pull her out, laughing the whole time but she was too heavy. It took 3 of us to pull her out. Good times.

then again, they might be eastern europeans trying to catch a carp for dinner

I came up to a red the other day and saw a police car waiting in the other direction, so I obviously stopped (just like I always do, every single time - safety first). Problem was, the guy 50ft behind me didn't, and casually rolled straight into me.
The police car saw this, but drove off at the green. It's a bit annoying that they fine red light jumpers, but not people who were going to run one, but used me as a brake instead and knocked me on my arse.

haha
last year they were catching and bbq'ing swans
My mum told me a story about her finding her Dad on the kitchen floor hugging a swan having been to the pub and bought it. He then proceeded to to cook and eat it.

MA3K just called me. There are loads of cops waiting to catch people busting the lights on corner Lambs Condiut and Theobald's.
Watch out!
Ma[3]K stopped as he was passing me at centrepoint to warn me of this little ''sting operation'' (haha)
As I rolled towards the lights in question I mentioned to a courier, who was riding alongside me, not to jump as there were cops there (they weren't in sight at this point).
The courier was pretty freaked out and laughing when he realised I was right...
Nice one Ma[3]K!

I was buying a Network card at Liverpool St this morning, and heard an announcement that certain trains were delayed due to a swan on the line near Enfield.
That's not really worth posting is it...

Escaped these guys a while back.
They hide behind the traffic so when you ride on the inside, they try grab you when you go too far.
Sometimes you have to just to put yourself in a safer position.
They hang out at Angel too. They ran in front of me holding hands so I couldn't get through and grabbed me! Gave me a warning. My description said black bike, black clothing, black hat, beard!
That could be anyone!
Whilst I stood there about another 20 people rode through red without noticing they were dishing out fines. The best was an old lady on a shopper! ha ha.
She just put her head down and pedalled on at about 4mph. -
I liked it BMMF, a nice human interest story, like at the end of the local news.
