A torch with a big reflector does the trick but I like the frying pan idea, I just need a good answer when my wife asks why I'm going to work with a frying pan.

I was thinking that presumably she knows you well enough, and probably would not even bother to ask...

Rog.

Ooo, how funny. I know the coppers down here would rather sit around with a speed gun than do any actual work for a living, but this one takes the biscuit. I'm rather tempted to go over there and see if I can get myself nicked.

A friend at work told me the other day what her husband had said when he spotted me cycling over the brow of a hill (without knowing it was me) .... I won't share all of it but the jist was that he was seriously impressed by the speed I managed. They're running a book at work for how long it is before I cause an accident due to driver distraction ......

Seems like the police are stepping up their crackdown on those speeding cyclists

Glad I am a long way from the English coast or I might just go down there to wind them up.

Thanks Django - I am not much into cricket, otherwise, no doubt, I could think of some way to continue the theme

So what you're saying is you're stumped.

Someone needs to show up how much of a farce this 'catching the evil bad speeding cyclists' campaign is by getting a sprinter & a cyclist together on the seafront to go side by side both over 10mph and see just who the police arrest/caution/piss off.

I still don't see how they can impose such a limit on vehicles that aren't legally required to have speedometers.

It's like something out of The Onion!
