Because the moon is a 19.4 waxing crescent, and the sun hasn't popped up yet!
Neither had the moon, at the time of posting.

Cycle cop outside my place of work handing out tickets to cyclists who RLJ. I wasnt sure why he was stopping so many cyclists at first but i went outside and had a brief word with him and he was filling me in about what they were doing or trying to do etc etc etc -- They were part of the 'safer cycling' team and were obviously trying to promote safer cycling. There are 30 of them working their way around london so they cant be everywhere at once and I guess today was Holborn's lucky day. He ticketed 5 RLJ'ers in 1 hour.

Offenders can either pay the £50 fine or take a road safety cycling course -- Im guessing all of the people he caught most likely just paid the fine.

TBH i thought it was a bit of a money grab as Ive been working in Holborn for almost 2 years and not once have I ever seen cycle cops patrolling the area. Paramedics on bicycles yes but policemen absolutely not..

Despite my opinions it was still nice to see them out and about.

They don't like riding bikes round these parts, too many hills and the roads aren't safe. So said the one who'd just come the wrong way on a one way street, over a crossing against the lights, and stopped by a bus going the correct way.

I see more and more cyclists going up the wrong side of the road (salmoning') where i work. they tell cyclists not to ride on the pavement but i see loads of tourists doing the exact thing. Obviously they dont know any better... but as always its one rule for one group and another rule for everyone else.

That was a Police Officer on the electric assist, and his comments. Stopped, like I said, by a bus travelling the correct way.

No contest there, bus'd win everytime.
