I'm off to the Old Bailey to see if I can get into this trial (court 11). I'll report back if anything interesting happens. And if I can bust any media biased reporting of the trial.Comment

Hmmm. Another cyclist no looking where's he's going...Originally posted by PurpleGorilla View PostGet an umbrella?


I got shouted out by a well dressed lady recently for not stopping for her on a Zebra Crossing. I did then stop, pointed out that since she was riding her bike across she wasn't therefore a pedestrian, had no right of way and was in fact breaking the law.
And just too be clear, there was no chance of me hitting her by not stopping since we were at opposite ends of a fairly wide crossing and she would not have been inconvenienced in the slightest...
But I do get seriously irritated by having to stop at a Pelican Crossing for some tit on a bike who's pressed the button so they can ride across the road.Blog? What blog...?
