When I submitted the Reg number of the blokes car it came back as insured so I have no idea why he did a runner???..

Might have been someone else driving it who wasn't insured. That would be worthy of doing a runner.

A man who killed a couple when he knocked them off their tandem bike with a car while being pursued by police has pleaded guilty in court.

Oh no I don't, I'm not working tomorrow. I'd have to bring the kids and I don't have a bicycle made for three :(

I hope to get it tomorrow morning if it doesn't go this evening

I can't believe how many times I've ridden past that cat and never noticed it even though I recognise the junction. Utter fail, must open my eyes.

Love the panoramas but leaving the geotag visible takes away the guessing...

I'm bikeless :(
about a 5 mile round trip on a bixi bike + whatever to your new tag

Don't forget the C'mon.

I thought this one was obvious but it is too far west for me. I'm amazed it is having roof work since apparently the FCO paid for it to be replaced in 2000-1.

Too far for me too. But I did find this while searching which I had to share:

"A 64-year-old cyclist was found collapsed in the road at Over Whitacre yesterday (Sunday, February 17).

Police are appealing for witnesses to the incident at Hoar Park on the Nuneaton Road at 12.30pm, where the elderly pedal cyclist was found in a collapsed state in the road, near to the car boot sale." http://www.thisistamworth.co.uk/Cyclist-dies-Whitacre-near-Coleshill-8211-police/story-18182433-detail/story.html#axzz2LGFBui86

"A cyclist was killed after an accident in Lancaster.

Police are appealing for witnesses to the incident, which happened on Wednesday, February 13, at 5.10pm on East Road close to Glebe Court." - http://www.lep.co.uk/news/local/cyclist-dies-after-accident-1-5410591

Shouldn't there be some element of deterrent to other drivers? It feels a bit like you can hit a cyclist and there aren't any consequences so why bother looking a bit harder?

Perhaps this driver will be improve but it doesn't help the others. I think this sends out completely the wrong message.

"A van driver who knocked Sir Bradley Wiggins off his bike has accepted the offer of a driver awareness course, police have said." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lancashire-21442987

Nice clue. The sculpture seems to be newer than the Street View images or I'm doing something very wrong.

The Flying Scud was still there in a July 2009 conservation area appraisal that recommends it not being knocked down

I think it is obvious, but then they always are when you know them.

Too far for me to get to at the moment though.

[INDENT]"It is worth noting that CCTV cameras do not normally record registration numbers of vehicles and deal only with traffic flow."[/INDENT]
Ah yes, "traffic flow", the holy mantra of London traffic planners and enforcers.

Man TfL cameras can be steered and zoomed but most of the time time don't record and unless anyone is using them they will be set to a wide shot which doesn't have the resolution to read number plates. You can get an idea of what is available at http://www.bbc.co.uk/travelnews/london/trafficcameras

There are TfL ANPR cameras all over the place used for congestion charge and low emission zone enforcement but I don't know how you would use those post-collision to identify a vehicle.

It's lovely this morning. No excuses!

Not for those that know where it is anyway.

A cyclist was fighting for her life today ... The biker was knocked down by a car in Aldersgate Street at about 4.15pm yesterday

I think it would be nice if I could be out on my bike getting the tag rather than stuck here at a computer

Old tag: Building on the top of Goswell Road

What is it? Evacuation route from Angel station?

Father of Mary Bowers, the Times writer knocked off bike by driver, speaks out

Driver who knocked over cyclist Mary Bowers cleared of dangerous driving

So I did htfu and it was a blooming marvellous ride in. Really pleased I did.

Old: Great Guildford Street round the back of the The Borough Welsh Congregational Chapel. Perhaps the sign should say Ymrwymo unrhyw niwsans?

New:

Closed. Perhaps too easy.

Wireless tyre pressure sensors on cars can be used as a route to the bus that applies the brakes so I wouldn't be surprised to find wireless mechs have equally useless security.
