I can't help but feel that tag is a bit meh.

Piece of cake innit.

That may have been me.

Or one of my mates.

Or someone else.

After some careful deduction, I have worked out where this is. But it's too far for me to tag.

Also, I agree; what a mint bike that is.

Someone on a motorbike in Brixton last night asked me if I'd know what he meant if he said Do A Skid. I said yes - although difficult to demonstrate whilst stationary. You have a great laugh.

Got both but too far away for me to get any time soon. Didn't take too long to work out from the clues. Nice work.

Sounds like this....

I managed to work this out from the clues already provided but I'm not going to be able to get there any time soon. Happy hunting. It's quite close to a sakura nursery, if that helps.

Sharkpits on red frame along Bedford Rd around 8.30 this am. Was walking to the tube where I had to let 6 trains go before getting one in the opposite direction in order to get on an overcrowded carriage 4 stops further south from where I started....

Yeah, Borough is a bugger. Probably proportionately more of a headache than mixing with peds on the way to Southwark bridge!

Hi @finger_jockey Monday night? I was heading off early and wanting to avoid the taxi demo at Bank. Been off the bike for nearly two months due to wrist problems after an off in Nov. Trust all well with you.

Shunted by a white BMW yesterday as I pulled away from the lights outside Brixton Cycles. Rear wheel totalled as well as cranks (!). Police attended but waved everyone on whilst I was sat in back of police car. Bruises and grazes and hopefully can recover from his insurance for repairs to bike.

Made contact with a ped this morning. I was already slowing because I saw him and feared he might step out (from the pavement to my left). He was looking in the opposite direction away from me. I assumed he was looking at the lorry bearing down on him/us as it overtook a parked vehicle on its side of the road and, even if he were unaware of my presence, he'd wait for the lorry to pass. There would have been enough space for me to carry on and I wouldn't have altered my speed if it weren't for my concerns that this chap might keep walking into the road. I managed to stop as we made contact so we both stayed upright (albeit with my rear wheel in the air). He was profusely apologetic. I suggested he take more care otherwise he'll do himself a serious injury. Not to mention me. He apologised again. I could have probably slowed more and sooner. But that's just between you and me.

I have found where it is but too far away for me to get.

I'm sure this will go nowhere but felt compelled to report it anyway. Needlessly aggressive driving from the driver of an empty bus. Seemed particularly to target cyclists. I received a close pass with him coming in way before he was clear of me - had to brake and bang on side of bus. Perhaps they should extend their assessments beyond technical to include character/personality assessments.

Thanks for your further email of 18 July about dangerous driving of a driver on a route number 35. I'm sorry for any distress that a
driver caused you at A23 Brixton road.

I’m sorry that the driver was driving aggressively with excessive
speed. I can appreciate how upsetting it must have been for you.

Dangerous driving or driving without due care is simply unacceptable.
I’ve passed your comments to Go Ahead, the bus operating company that
runs this route for us. They’ll now investigate your complaint. When a
complaint like this is made, a manager will call the driver in for an
interview. After this, based on the findings, appropriate action will
be taken. I can assure you that all complaints are taken very
seriously and they have taken the action they deem necessary against
the driver.

The safety of our customers and road users is our highest priority. We
go to great lengths to train our bus drivers to very high standards.

We continue to monitor driving performance, to ensure that high
standards are maintained. Every month we carry out over 600 Driver
Quality Monitoring surveys. This provides us with technical
assessments of their driving skills. Drivers are assessed on
acceleration and braking, as well as the use of mirrors and road
positioning.

Once again, I'm very sorry to hear what happened and understand this
must have been upsetting for you. It's really important for us to meet
and exceed our customers' expectations. This means your feedback will
help us improve our services.

Thanks again for contacting us. If there's anything else we can assist
you with, please reply to this email and we'll be happy to help.
Alternatively, you can speak to one of our Customer Service Advisers
on 0343 222 1234.

Kind regards

Here's hoping the rider is OK. The bridge was closed for quite a while for investigations.

Sharkpits on Kennington Park Road chatting to a guy on a black Cinelli this morning? Cinelli guy is superfast (when not chatting).

Yes, nice clue. No chance of getting it any time soon. I have a peculiar feeling someone will get it long before me.

Good to meet you too. Hope you got home before the downpour.

E&C? An absolute mess of traffic? Shirley, you can't be serious?

Good to finally meet you. Will keep eyes peeled in future.

Was quite preoccupied by twitchy riding of scooter so can't say I noticed. Will keep an eye out. Come in from A3 or A23? Or somewhere else?

Probably me. Was drafting a scooter. Rider seemed a little unnerved by my presence. What do you ride?

Varied my route in this morning. On the one hand, glad I didn't opt for Southwark Bridge (I don't enjoy the section northside even when it is open). I did however opt for Blackfriars Bridge which was shocking.

I know that one too. Knew someone who used to live next door. Gonna struggle to get it today though.

Would have done it this morning but haven't got a replacement tag sorted yet.
