Anyone else get stopped today?
I got stopped twice within about 300 metres - once for jumping a light that had just switched from amber to red at the junction of Clerkenwell Road and Theobalds Road and then a couple of seconds later at the next junction trying to ride a bus only lane (didn't realise) on the way to New Oxford st. Fairly nice coppers all things considered - whole malarky about 'if i catch you next time' etc etc and only one small piece of rhetoric about scraping me off the floor with a fork unless I wore full hi-vis... No fine either.
Saw a fella try and bomb away from the first lot - only to get stopped by some of their colleagues down the road - As I rode past he was getting handcuffed. Only a little disappointed I wasn't wearing my 'Thou - Smoke Pigs' shirt....
