Had a couple of errands to do in town so pushed the MDG to one side and in those immortal words got
on me bike. Always a novelty for me to ride there to take in the cityscape and observe things. One
of the things I observed was a red traffic light which because I momentarily forgot I was on a bike
I stopped for. Well I stopped for several in fact but this one was noteworthy for the fact that it
was a left turn only and as I pulled up, gracefully unclipped and put me foot down in a steady and
relaxed manner, such was the warning given by the red light, an Arriva bus overtook and went through
the light as brazen as you like! Clearly the unseasonably mild weather has made things so topsy
turvey that cyclists now stop at red lights and professional, highly trained bus drivers don't, ok
maybe I was dreaming.
Apart from the aforementioned red lights the only other delays were caused by cars getting in my
way, oh well.....
