This evening cycling towards Earlsfield station I saw a couple of lads 12-14 riding a scooter - the passenger had no helmet, the lad steering, was no more than 14, the thing had no lights and had pedals which where spinning like crazy. I pulled up beside them at some traffic lights and said in a concerned but friendly way that they would get pinched if the police stopped them. They both piped up that they had been stopped already and the police said it was OK, I told them not to be silly, they turned of Garret Lane and I went on my way. It was a bit of a bizarre moment, getting more odd the more I think about it.
