People crossing the road without looking. Nightmare when you're cycling. Maybe it's an urban thing - people so attuned to road noise they think they can tell when something's coming without looking - but bikes are nearly silent. Atlantic Road in Brixton is particularly bad, almost as if some people think there's a pedestrian zone between the two parts of the market. Yesterday someone walked off the pavement BACKWARDS in front of me.

Afraid to say I've been guilty of this one in the past. Quickly scanning the road and not noticing an approaching cyclist. But I think (hopefully) I've learned my lesson... before both me and an unsuspecting cyclist end up in a heap on the road...

There was a lady walking down the middle of the road this morning, reading her phone messages and seemingly oblivious of where she was. I slowed down and cycled past, giving her a wide birth and she looked up and 'tsked' me!

    • So your remedy for anyone harming an animal, amongst which I assume you include at least all insects, is, well, to kill an animal. Good and logical call. Hyperbole only gets you so far, you know. 
    • Hello, just wondered if you found anything? I'm also looking for a studio space, perhaps sharing. 
    • From what I have gathered from Bradbury Oak residents  I have spoken with, that at a meeting with RNIB earlier in the year, none of the residents were in favour of new build. There is the implication that rent rises are anticipated to help towards building costs. Rent is currently in the region of £300 pw - as with most sheltered housing (council and Housing Association), Since these rents also include maintenance charges, utility charges - Housing Benefit is only applicable to the actual 'rent element' per flat.
    • At the Dulwich Hill SNT meeting last night we spoke about Met. Engage. Dulwich Hill had signed up 185 households. Scheme  had been trialled in other parts of the country successfully and now the Met. Police are rolling it out, To the end of August, the Met Police had gathered 17,000 registrations which equites to 2% of households.
