Does anyone know whether our esteemed cycling Met police officers are given any cycle training? I only ask because just yesterday I was behind one, going down Finchley Rd (in temple fortune) who was almost skimming a layer of paint off of car doors he was so close. It is also, in my opinion, one of the most dangerous places to ride - there's always someone stepping off the kerb, or a froomer (chassidic) driving whilst davening (praying). Surely the police are supposed to set a good example. I nearly said something to him, but thought he might think I was being lippy, and anyway, he was busy talking on his radio!
