Cycle lane road markings - Do you know what this one is??
Todays grip with the world is.....Car drivers & other vehicles who sit in the bicycle's reserved section at the front of a junction!.
On the communte in on the bike today, fighting the normal annoyances such as the British winter, fumes, danger of being squished by vehicles and side swipped by mums on the school run were many cars in the "green sanctuary" at a junction.
I borrowed this picture from a government website who were documented the areas for each type of vehicle.
While I was there, I thought I better check to see what the definition of this area was!.
It was quite clear. Bicycles only.
So, no Cars, Lorries, Motorbikes, Scooter, Pedestrians crossing and definately no pizza delivery bike riders. (they are their own category!).
Anyway back to my Rant. So after having to squeeze past a series of cars parked in this area. I had a car nudge by back wheel and try to hurry me through the red light while sitting in the 'Green Sanctuary'. I considered this area as an area for bikes to give them a head start - and not a space for cars to intimidate cyclists.
Looking forward to the cycle home tonight!

The new Bond film is brilliant
At the weekend we went to see the new Bond film - "Casino Royale".In short I think it was brilliant.
It was refreshing to see a film that broke away for the tradition which is hard in a long series of films.
I think it worked equally as well as the first ever and the latest bond film.
It was very good to be character led, rather than the formula, this is the car scene, this is the gadget scene, this is the bond girl scene and this it the compulsary car plug scene.
Casino Royale builds the Bond character for the audience. It was a physological profile of 007, and how is became the way that we all know him.
It was darker in terms of cinematography, but more realistic at the same time.
In the cinema we saw it, the general feedback was all positive.
A brave move from the producers of Bond - well done and lets hope they continue with this new theme.
From a satisfied viewer.

This is the prettiest 'We are temp closed' message I have ever seen
Normally when a site is temporarily unavailable its some kind of techie message.
This is the one Bloglines used today. A little annoying though when American companies who do maintainance during the night - our day! But hey - at least they have an amusing 'sorry' message.
