Oh and a policeman once stopped me at an Aldgate red light (not a junction, just a pedestrian crossing/traffic flow control light, perfectly safe. He RLJ'd to catch me, cut me off with his motorbike, made me lift my bike over the fence and onto the pavement, and went went...
"Right, I don't think you're safe enough to be on the roads. You're banned from cycling today. Walk your bike to stepney green and have a think about cycling safety."
He then proceeded to keep tabs on me, riding past every once in a while to make sure I didn't get back on the road. Is this kind of control even legal??
