I was standing in a small crowd last night, waiting to cross the road at Hammersmith Broadway (going from the Piccadilly station to the Hammersmith one). Traffic is roaring round the corner as usual.
Next thing I know, a car screeches to a halt as a completely invisible ninja cyclist pulls from the left hand lane, all the way across to the right hand lane (5 lanes?) in one fell swoop. No signal, nothing. How the cars missed him, I'll never know.
The crowd gasped and shrieked as our intrepid assassin defied the odds and wobbled on his merry way. As he passed (going through the now-red light) I noticed that his V-brakes, front and back, were flapping uselessly in the wind.
What a champ. FFS.
