Last summer I was heading along Regents Canal in Islington, had just ridden up to Camden and back. Was a hot n sunny day, real nice. Took it easy due to the large amount of foot and bike traffic. Then I hear a sports whistle being blown in the distance up ahead, again and again, getting rapidly closer. 2 knobs on bikes scream towards & then past me and a bunch of peds with little children etc at what must be close to 30 miles an hour. Needless to say everyone was pretty pissed, cue shouts of "idiot, wanker" etc.
I don't know what their game was, but WABC. They probably ended up in the drink further down.
On bells, I picked up a good one from Two Wheels Good in Stokie a while back. It's dutch made, compact and has one of those tough rubber band type things to attach it to the bars, meaning it fits any diameter handle bar. Defo need it for the canal.
