Cycling home, or rather to our local real ale hostelry, I was waiting patiently on the ASZ when a cyclist zoomed past me, the ASZ and the red light, eventually stopping about four metres in front of said lights simply for the convenience of being able to lean against a signpost so he didn't have to unclip and could be ready to belt off the second the lights changed. I didn't notice the make of bike, but I was rather taken aback by the 'explosion in a wig factory' hairstyle being kept in some sort of order by a John MacEnro style sweatband - ! To all this, you may say so what - ? BUT all this was witnessed by the two crew of a police car which was at the head of the traffic queue. At least a minute passed before the lights changed and they did absolutely NOTHING - !
Observations folks - !

Hardly mugging an old lady is it? What did you expect them to do?

And if they did, someone else would be piping up on another website that the dibble should be out harassing burglars and not cyclists.

If they dealt with every rider that did this every bobby in the country would do nothing all day long except accost cyclists, and still wouldn't have the capacity to deal with them all.

There's a no entry I sometimes ride through on my way to work. They'll never take me alive!

Wait until I tell you what I get up to on the shared use cycle path.

I'm not sure that traffic police have any jurisdiction over McEnroe styled headgear on a bike, however tasteless.

Did this fashion victim actually go over the junction on red or just use go over it a bit further than strictly legal for the reasons of staying clipped in?
