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.

The bride mostly ;-)

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!

    • Good Afternoon, Fantastic to hear Gigi is microchipped! While we haven't received any sightings of a BSH, our team carry scanners on our daily routes & will be keeping a look out for her. Is Gigi spayed? Twb x

    • Vapes aren't big yet - most people still get their Chinese B&H Gold from one of the 'barbers'. The theme park isn't a bad idea - Torbay are using their cash for an 'Agatha Christie Trail' - so it's not so far-fetched.   'One-eyed Cop Killer' Dale Cregan and, most chillingly of all, Simply Red's Mick Hucknall are also from the neck of the woods. Would you believe Hucknall's dad was an actual barber? Brian & Michael (Matchstalk Men & Matchstalk Cats & Dogs) lived at the top of my road, and were abetted by The St.Winifred's School Choir on that aberration. They, of course graduated to the unforgivable 'Theres No-one Quite Like Grandma'. A truly terrifying place.
