one time was rolling slowly on my bike between people down the Bow Lane, a small shopping pedestriants-only alley just off Cheapside, during a busy lunch time only because I thought that Ill take less space on the bike than if I walk and push my bike on my side and suddenly one gentlemen, who was walking from in front, pulled out a police badge from behind his suite jacket and said to me calmly "don't cycle on the pavement"... so I just dismounted kindly and walked on
he took me by suprise in other words..
The other time I was cycling down the Bishopsgate throught the junction with Liverpool Rd and I was pretty much sure I had green, then suddenly one copper who was waiting at the crossing started walking onto the road trying to cut me of, pointing the finger at me and shouting something.. something that I couldnt hear cos I had my headphones on.. so I started slowing down, and suddenly he just walked back to the pavement without saying anything.. seeing what I assumed he mistaken something and realized that i PROBABLY had green and I drove off with fast heartbeat... mysterious to me cos I didnt know what was he on about... hmm
