I rode to Holborn this morning to put my new bike in for a service and witnessed the most bizarre red light jumping I’ve ever seen. A man on Brompton kept pulling into the intersection ahead of me and then simply hopping off his bike and walking it through the intersection – on the road, against the light….the light would then turn green whilst he was getting back on his bike and I would sail past him only to witness the exact same process after he pulled up in front of me at 3 more lights…arggghhh.
Also what is it with people who work around Holborn? They’re all in a terrible hurry, they wait for no man, nor woman, nor woman pushing a bike…. I became so het up about the whole thing that I shouted at one lady who walked into my bike – ‘Don’t mind me!’…. Some amount of crazy going on there I think – ie on my part possibly….
