Scary screaming cycling lady (the London Banshee)

For missmouse.

Sadly the pictures, like Tommy, have vanished.

I've done it.

I've tracked and caught her.

Pics to follow.

I was heading on home with only one thing on my mind, food. I stopped off at Charlton Sainsbury's. I was feeling Lazy so was toying of the idea of pizza.

It was after locking up my bike and walking toward the entrance did I spot the first signs of the Banshee. Her bike.

A find steed for going in to battle I thought, sturdy, disk brakes, dependable, if Boudica rode a bike it would be like this. It was at this point I knew the game was on, the quarry was near and armed with my camera phone I knew I would have blood.

I rushed inside, the excitement of the chase rising within me. Clam down I thought don't blow it now.

As I entered the store scanned for my quarry., she was queuing at the checkout. I knew time was of the essence.

I fiddled with my phone, trying to work out how switch off the picture taking noise.

Trying not to look suspicious with a phone near checkouts is hard, Pacing backwards and forward s along the line of checkouts, phone out I went for the kill.

I wait outside for some time. No action. I think she is having coffee or a pee.

The she comes out.

I start to follow.

she rides off

She turns down a side rode. knowing where it goes I try to cut her off, but she disappears. She has either been spooked or her laire is down that road.

Either way I feel like I have been lucky to have caught such glimpses of the notorious banshee on camera. The experience and information gained will allow me to improve my techniques and maybe next time get a full on face shot.
