Some utter plumb who I assume is on here cycling up Bellenden Road at about 6pm today, on a nice geared lo pro. Hands off the bars, texting/using his phone at 5 miles an hour in the MIDDLE of the road.
For fuck's sake.
However, this morning was made significantly better by seeing a guy getting ticketed for running the red lights at the bottom of Grosvenor place.
I'm all for creeping across a pedestrian crossing if there are obviously no pedestrians around and it's still on red, but jumping the 4 lane junctions around central is just fucking ridiculous.
PLUS, there are PCSOs (and real police) there every morning. I assume they are 'spotting' as the guy was pulled to the side a little bit further up by a PC on one of those official Police 'mountain bikes'.
