Some of us were disappointed last Sunday that weather conditions demanded the cancellation of Simon's Cheam & Morden ride, through London to the Olympic Stadium. However, we all know what a stickler he is for safety. He always carries out a portfolio of risk assessments, including at least one recce. You may be interested to see this preview of what you might have missed.
Why on earth do cyclists have a reputation for reckless, insane and murderous behaviour on the roads? Perhaps the following link might give a clue!

P.S. Apologies to Simon!

Jeff I guess I may have a guilty concience seeing these hairy couriers in London. Even jake can't accuse me of going through so many RED lights. I will ask Tim how it compares with couriering in Sydney which he did for 2 UK winters on the trot while traing with the UK MTB team. The money's not bad but you risk life and limb.

I think a copy of the SWLDA guide to group cycling is needed! it reminds me of some of Bobs mystery rides in london

Tim Morley comments further. Sydney was similarly furious risking lives & limb of rider and others. Though hourly paid as a bike courier the incentive was a Bonus for delivering above a target on the day.
