London 2012 Olympics

TfL may be monitoring the games lanes via camera, and relaying information to plod, who may decide to be particularly officious and out to nab transgressing cyclists though.

People don't like change... carrying on regardless is precisely what the vast majority of people will do.

This.

Anyone know what's going to happen to Euston Road during this shambles? How much tax will I have to pay to cycle along its games lanes?

Fuck all. Fuck 'em. Even if they're not midgets.

But it would have to be a policeman. A group4 guy in a yellow vest is unable to legally attempt anything to impede your way.

and so it begins

Kerron Clement, the American 400-metre hurdles silver medallist in Beijing, was left fuming as the bus transporting him from Heathrow Airport to the Athletes' Village was 'lost' for four hours.
American hurdler Kerron Clement left 'hungry, tired and needing to pee' as coach transporting him from Heathrow Airport struggles to reach Village.

And don't forget the one about the 32 mile tailback on the M4...

well they had been warned

idiots

seriously wtf are we (the cyclists) going to do about it? follow it or not?! (talking a bit anarchy here)

I might cycle over to the stadium on Friday night if anyone fancies it....could be quite a laugh

Not right up to it but on one of the bridges over the dual carriageway, take it all in from there

simple - take the lane as you usually do, and overtake.

and how are they planning to restrict cyclists going on the olympics lane!?

Spikey things.

hedgehogs I think they are called.

I'm already sick of these frigging Olympics. There is advertising absolutely everywhere, it's disgusting! More reasons not to buy Samsung products. And McDoanlds as 'official restaurant'?!?! Get to fuck you absolute fucking arseclowns.

have to agree, i love the sport but the more i read about it and the more i see of the gash logo its putting me right off.

It's an aesthetic nightmare.

boycotting those companies wont do anything. some of them are tax free for almost a year just because
they sponsor the wankfest.

good to hear those privileges are worthless when facing british reality

maybe a nice idea to decorate the lanes?

stratford has begun to get busy
noticably more people on the streets ducking and diving in and around the olympic park, loads of london 2012 sweatshirts drawn tight over rotund middle aged bodies, security passes round necks lots of sponsors logo's on clothing
if you want to spot some famous people i would hang round the westfield shopping centre this weekend

Fucking get ahead of the games posters EVERYWHERE. There is no point in even putting them up. We all know it is going to be horrendously fucking busy.

was waiting on a platform at london bridge on saturday with the missus when a voice louder than the sound of GOD started booming in a ridiculous foppish and annoying tone

"gosh err, hi I'm boris, your mayor and I'm here to say we're in the final push and it's almost time for the BIG ONE, it's going to be fantastic but we need everyone to do their bit and plan their journeys properly, go to we'llfuckingtellyouwhereyouareandarentallowedtogowhilstwehaveourfuckingsummerjollyyouserfs.com"

i didn't know whether to cover my ears or ball my fists up with rage. i nearly punched myself in the fucking cochlea.

I have visions of Majors giving the speach befor going over the top in to killing zone.
