Scary screaming cycling lady (the London Banshee)

I was heading on home with only one thing on my mind, food. I stopped off at Charlton Sainsbury's. I was feeling Lazy so was toying of the idea of pizza.

It was after locking up my bike and walking toward the entrance did I spot the first signs of the Banshee. Her bike.

A find steed for going in to battle I thought, sturdy, disk brakes, dependable, if Boudica rode a bike it would be like this. It was at this point I knew the game was on, the quarry was near and armed with my camera phone I knew I would have blood.

C'mon. Hurry up! Where are the pics of her?

I rushed inside, the excitement of the chase rising within me. Clam down I thought don't blow it now.

As I entered the store scanned for my quarry., she was queuing at the checkout. I knew time was of the essence.

I fiddled with my phone, trying to work out how switch off the picture taking noise.

Trying not to look suspicious with a phone near checkouts is hard, Pacing backwards and forward s along the line of checkouts, phone out I went for the kill.

The suspense is killing me

I wait outside for some time. No action. I think she is having coffee or a pee.

The she comes out.

That looks like North Greenwich Sainsbury?

I start to follow.

she rides off

She turns down a side rode. knowing where it goes I try to cut her off, but she disappears. She has either been spooked or her laire is down that road.

Either way I feel like I have been lucky to have caught such glimpses of the notorious banshee on camera. The experience and information gained will allow me to improve my techniques and maybe next time get a full on face shot.

Excellent work!

Small world excellent!

Good work

Please tell me she was pointing and shouting at the bus driver - even if you have to lie.....

I think she was signalling her intent to turn, right into the bus!

;)

Until we know who she actually is, can we give her a name?

I mean Banshee is from the early X-Men, so how about Boudica......The Destroyer.

Is this proof that Ortlieb panniers send you mental?

BTW,.....Well done Tommy.

that's some excellent tracking skills there tommy. ray mears would be proud.

I don't want to cause panic, but that's not the Banshee I've encoutered around E & C.

oh shit..

!!!!! It's defiantly the one I've seen / heard doing the deep growling on Jamaica road. This can mean only one thing. It's a cult.

like all horror movies there's always a sequel

I've been reading this thread with great interest for a while, and f*ck me I was excited to get the pictures, only to find out it wasn't perhaps the original banshee. But certainly Tommy has served his apprenticeship to get himself a job as a cycle pap.

So has Tommy captured the Banshee? Is that definately her?
