Was it a safety check day or hauling suspect cyclists off the road?

Almost got off the bus to investigate.


Took a day off the bike as was knackered and resting the legs for my half marathon on Sunday

    I tend to avoid that area as it's carnage

    RLJ checks?

    It looked to me like a coffee & donut morning when I went past. Loads of coppers hanging around chatting.

    I think a safety awareness thing. They were talking to a couple of cyclists and showing them round a big dumper truck. Why aren't you on your bike?

    Possibly a safety thing aimed at cyclists due to the nearby Shard construction site. The other week it had 700 cement mixers arriving over a 36 hour period.

    No-one there at 7:30.

    Road is falling to bits.

    Sorry sir. I took 24 hours off, but I'll be back on her tonight for the homeward journey, honest :oops:

    Dr Bike sessions have started up in Lambeth so I attended one on Tuesday at Clapham Common, Cedars Road end. Could have done with some tea and cakes there as it was a little nippy that evening :)

    Maybe they should have collared a few of the peds who cross Borough High Street/St Thomas St when the BHS lights (right turn) are on green and who look you in the face whilst stepping into the road :x
