Private security staff are also renowned for being over-zealous with these sorts of things.
Aye, but at least they don't have the power to fine you!

Ta for asking: they cut the chain, put the lot in the panniers so I still have the lock, only need a new chain. Today I used the Cryptonite lock insteadEdit: forgot to ask... I presume this incident cost you a lock?
Well, they have been opening the barriers on my approach, no question asked.That's good to hear but I would advise that anyone doing this exercise some caution. You've found a sensible cop who used a bit of discretion and allowed you through, other cops may take a different view and apply the restriction or ticket you, so always ask first.

I feel for my non cycling colleagues, having to walk fair distances to start a 5am shift or trying to get home after midnight.I love these road closures. Polite security staff to raise the barriers, the odd wave from the law and nice newly laid tarmac, it's nothing like the fighting for road space as per usual down the Dalmarnock Road. In fact had no problems cycling thru any of the road closures. Only another week of it, then back to the reality
