I submit that on or about Thu, 21 Jul 2005 21:38:19 GMT, the person known to the court as "Sniper8052(L96A1)" <[email hidden]> made a statement (<[email hidden]> in Your Honour's bundle) to the following effect:
Quoted message said:
Just to say if we do happen to slot someone related to this group by accident could you all have your ICE numbers in your mobiles so we know who to call to deny responsibility.
It's a marvellous idea slightly let down by the fact that anybody who sets the phone to lock out as an anti-fraud measure will render the ICE number inaccessible...
You could always try writing emergency contact numbers on the back of the phone using an indelible pen, I suppose...

It takes me about 19 minutes to cycle in from home to work in Victoria and about 25 to cycle home. The inbound journey is made between 5.30 and 6.00 in the morning. If I get up late it takes much longer to make it in. After 7.00 it almost becomes quicker to walk.
Quoted message said:
Surely there is something wrong there? I cycle through Kennington Oval past Victoria to Hyde Park, and my journey time hardly changes regardless of the traffic. Sometimes I go early Saturday/Sunday mornings, sometimes at the peak of rush hour during the week.
The increse in journey time is due to the traffic believe me. Camberwell New Road ends up as two lanes of stationary traffic approaching the tube station. The bus/cycle/taxi lane is useless as it is full of bus :-( Then once over Vauxhall Bridge, VBR is again two lanes of stationary traffic. It takes far longer to ride those roads at rush hour than it does at o' dark thirty.

You don't overtake on the right hand side? :O I'm not going to wait behind all the smelly cars and buses when there's no reason to. I don't get a significant change in journey time at all, regardless of commuting during rush hour or the quietest hours.

Nah, being from the southern hemisphere, polarity is reversed so batteries are rendered useless ;-)

I overtake, undertake and weave through the middle but there are vehicles coming the other way, motorcycles and other cyclists to avoid as well. -- Phil Cook looking north over the park to the "Westminster Gasworks"

Blimey Sniper. Given Friday's events, you must have see in to the future glasses or something.

Fairy nuff, but we must be doing something radically different given that you experience a delay and I don't.

Possibly caution learned from too many incidents of cabbies pulling U-ies and nincompoops doing unanounced right turns across me. I've still got the scars :-(
Just been out on the old racing iron over Crystal Palace to Croydon - boy those hills have got steep and I've rediscovered how bad my hack iron is :-( -- Phil Cook looking north over the park to the "Westminster Gasworks"

I really hope I'm not being reckless. I don't think so though, I'm pretty cautious by nature.

Hills are fun fun fun, well I need to do lots before the Tour of the Surrey Hills in a month's time. 15kg of 'bent is tough work on hills, but at least I'm not carrying any extra bodyweight now.

Eeeek!!! That does not bode well for me, I'm sure I'm nowhere near as fast as you are.
