    This thread was the last thing I read before I left work last night. About 15 minutes into my ride home I looked up and saw two blokes crossing the road with a big pane of glass. I kid you not.

    I was severely tempted :)

    I saw two people crossing the road carrying two big wooden pallets this morning. Wasn't quite the same...

    Having just read my earlier post back, I'd just like to stress that it wasn't 15 minutes into the ride before I looked up for the first time. I do actually try to watch where I'm going :)

    Not on a commute - but on a Sunday ride - going over the Queensferry Bridge over the Dee (looks like one of the old bridges from" a bridge too far" - girders both sides and over the top. Single lane either way)

    Cavalier coming toward us speeding bursts his drivers side front tyre and spins 360 degrees without hitting either side of the bridge and comes to a rest . We manage to pass by him just as he started the spin. We didnt even stop - we were too shocked.

    meh! who cares, just the thought of Daniel Craig in lycra works for me :roll: :lol:

    and anyway in this day and age of Bond sponsorship he would be seen on a Trek, wearing Oakley glasses and a Giro helmet and of course no lights with a FCN of 1 :roll: 8) :lol:

    Had my own James Bond moment on the bike on the way back from the gym just now.
    Coming back via the cycle path, not only did I have to dodge a mad woman on her mobile phone shouting to the moon for all I know, but also had the usual hazard of dogs wondering across the path and a woman who seemed insistent that I should not be on the cycle path because she was exercising her whippet on it, she even chased me at one point to try and make her point

    :shock:

    dangerous work this cycling!

    On my way back from work (it was dark) Some kids had started a bin fire and at the same moment I rode pass it something exploded inside the bin (Big flames and noise), it was the most James bond thing that has ever happened to me! 8)

    Hope the experience didn't leave you shaken or stirred! :wink:

    In an ideal world, at the precise moment the explosion etc. happened, the Goldfinger theme would have started playing [1].... :wink:

    [1] In the film itself, I'm sure the music starts at the point where the secret-hideout-disguised-as oil-storage-tank blows up (after the electric fire in bath/"shocking, positively shocking" bit?).
