Metro Bank have set up some kind of promotional Cyclist "pitstop" on the opposite corner of the big junction at Holborn Tube. Meh, riding the cycling popularity wave, whatever.
The real problem is that they've set it up on the right-hand side of the road, across three lanes of busy aggressive traffic pulling away from the lights and are shouting with loud hailers to attract people to pull in - effectively encouraging people to slew across three lanes to get to them. Fucking dangerous.
I stopped to politely explain to them the situation and how they'd be safer setting up on the other side of the road but was met with the polite but dismissive "maybe tomorrow".
If other people could stop and also point this out they might take notice. Ta.
