It wasn't my fault! I probably only even noticed it cos I was being blown backwards by the headwind. I'm usually head down round that bend.

Chuckle..maybe it should be a no complaints sign?

Though cycling in this weather cannot be fun!

 

[fossyant]

And I've written to TFL. D'oh!!! It's not a good day!!

Hah hah - Double Doh ! Highway code sunshine. Hee hee !

 

[Mad at urage]

Some people are so unkind. I won't mock, but please do post the reply from TfL

In not-mocking frame of mind, some people make worse mistakes, more publicly and with less justification. for example, see the image on p29 of the pdf here http://www.hodology.com/ (pity he doesn't say where it is ).

LOL! OK, you can blame me for encouraging you to write to TfL so quickly, but Martin!!! Sign knowledge, or even a bit of checking before putting foot in mouth!!!

You can't take the p*** out of anyone until you ditch the armwarmers!!! I imagine the response will be "Sign? What sign?"

I know, I know! I'm usually pretty good at my signs. I think it must have been cos I've never noticed it before but suddenly realised it was blocking the traffic light. It's probably been there for years!

 

[martint235]

Of course you can. I'm claiming my ten minutes from now.

You're doing it again!!

Did you mention the 'No Focus,Mondeo, or Fiesta' drivers sign in your letter Martin?

Potsy I'll be visiting Manchester this year for the Manchester - Morecambe ride. I'm going to come and tie your armwarmers together

If it is any consolation, I was once waiting at lights which had the triangle bicycle sign below it, and was "told off" by a driver for being on the road when the sign indicated cycling was banned. Took a while to convince him that the sign meant for him to look out for cyclists. The fact that there were bicycle signs painted on the road finally swayed the argument my way...

That is a consolation although not much. I pass those signs every day, I'm now wondering just how long they have been there without me noticing and misinterpreting them!

So you've been thinking that you are a bit of a rebel when in fact you have been law abiding all along.

That's me. Rebel without a touch of illegality
