its when they:
stop you going down a closed road on a sunday,
ask you to go back behind the line at a traffic light,
dont stop cars from being in cycle lanes or stopping points,
the stockwell to kennington run where one guy is hiding behind a corner and 2 bike cops are abit further ahead and nab yer... ok i hate them all. -

This morning on my way to work and riding down commercial rd. I over take this geared claude butler hybrid with aerobars and im like just hitting my coasting speed in the bus lane.
Traffic lights at the crossroads ahead been red for a while and you know that its gonna change back to green at any moment, so you don't ease off...
UNLESS... theres a rubbish truck at those lights, not signaling and in the left hand lane.
So i ease off and claude goes past me... oh... the lights change... and the truck pulls a little right then turns back in left... claude gets his rear wheel pushed by the truck.
And comes off. Truck no left signal. Guy on the floor away from his bike. Two truckers come out of their truck. Hand brake on the truck is off starts rolling and pushing his bike towards him. Trucker one goes back in truck puts handbrake on. I go over to cyclist see hes alright. Trucker two asks too. I say you didn't signal mate to the trucker! He says yes i did. Taxi driver says if you want to take my details mate i saw the whole thing...get this, to the trucker! Motor biker (who was just behind me) says you didnt signal mate. Cyclist says if you said you signaled i'll believe you... Trucker say yeah i did... so...
he said hes fine, he has a bike that isnt fine. also says he doesnt want to take any details.... at that point i ride off thinkin hes stupid... FAIR?

bout 3 months ago I had the same dilemma, i did abit of hunting around for a frame. i went to brick lane and brixton cycles, not to bad mouth any body who might work at brick lane but i got a better service from brixton... well thats where i brought the bits then a mate (cheers lucky aka andy) and me put it together... as a newbie too.. its kinda the best way to get a look in... or you could try some where like waterloo cycles... they sorted out my crown race. yeah grey frames i was on the hunt too but settled for this...
ps i think i spotted green surly in notting hill about 4 weeks ago forgot to post, with another fixie not too far behind
