I saw a guy being told off by a (plastic) Police man this morning walking his bike on the pavement outside the Scala this morning to avoid waiting behind the buses at the junction.
I also saw this - one guy on a mountain bike, one on an alu Colnago, both getting ticketed by some jobsworth CSO. I assumed they must have been riding their bikes but I must admit I thought they had dismounted and were just walking them along doing no harm to anyone. There was a fat lady pedestrian who was watching on looking smug. Maybe she caused a fuss, I dunno.
It is irritating, that little bit where the buses turn, because they've specifically narrowed and barriered it so you can't get past, and it takes an age for the buses to clear through there. Fortunately I was feeling patient this morning.
