I don't know if this is worthy of it's own thread but I just wanted to warn anyone who frequently rides up Theobalds Road into central London that the transport police have been stopping every single cyclist who uses the bus lane that goes past Central Saint Martins college to cut through towards Covent garden. Apparently that bus lane is special and you're not allowed to use it.
I stood outside for 20 minutes today and watched at least 15 cyclists, Boris bikers and couriers alike, unwittingly ride straight into the jaws of 6 transport police officers and each get a £30 on-the-spot fine.
I thought it might be useful to post a warning on here as it seems like they're going to be there all week.
They were there yesterday, last week and plenty of times before. The amount of people that just sit there looking at the cops then still use the bus lane is amazing. But when they aren't there i see so many people ride through red lights swerving all over the place to avoid taxi's and buses, it's just a matter of time before someone get's hurt there.
