  • A jarring note in a wonderfully good-humoured day. At Trafalgar Square a black-cab driver, shouting abuse, slowly and deliberately drove into me and two other marshals who were blocking the road, temporarily trapping one marshal against me and the other marshal's bike under his offside bumper. I still find it hard to believe I saw a professional driver doing this. Happily we were able to disentangle ourselves and reform behind his vehicle without releasing a surge of traffic. At least one rider recorded the collision on his phone. If you witnessed this incident, please contact me: sjt@5jt.com.

    Always attentive to the law myself, until now I had discounted stories of attacks on cyclists by black-cab drivers. If we have adequate evidence in this case, I shall be pressing charges.

  • It's not my video!

  • Fantastic video of the day - http://vimeo.com/22271973?ab

    Just heading off on an audax and still debating whether to wear some dashing tweeds but I don't think Stockport is cosmopolitain enough for them...

    I think I saw this. Was it at a junction off Theobalds Road or something. I saw a black cab break through the traffic along with an aggy kid on a scooter and I remember thinking how calm everyone was being about it.

    It's a shame that some people find it impossible to control themselves or think rationally.

  • ^Just like Teenslain, such photographs don't exist.

    Good to see you again, Muscles!

  • Lovely seeing you too Luci!

    I was trying to find you at the drinks to catch up but you had disappeared :-(

  • Anyone got me on my bike though?

    Why would anyone without a slight scatological perversion want to photograph your bike?!

  • Why is this person wearing a giant hot water bottle?
