14 hours ago14 hr Yet where I live I see very little action of stopping or ceasing ebikes or scooters.Yesterday walking in to town centre I saw a plod marked push bike being ridden by plod in the main town shopping square , one illegal ebike being ridden on throttle and a scooter also being ridden. Both were allowed to carry on riding without hindrance.
10 hours ago10 hr Shortly before I suddenly noticed Evan's closing down sale and bought a bicycle pump for £1.60, very silly looking wide-view cycling glasses, warm woolly hat and a rucksack... I saw a plod plodding next to a plod marked plod ebike ridden by another plod, as ebikes throttled along illegally nearby. I think they were conducting advance reconnaissance for one of the usual town center periodic mass seizures of delivery ebikes, rather than being present for hot pursuit. Meanwhile, there are even more Surrons all over the freaking shop. And they have faces! I got a really good look at the face of one as he was putting on his rinja mask riding on the pavement at high speed, probably after he'd been shopping at Tescos. Jesus bearded skinny young dude with really bad acne. Wasn't even Japanese! These rinjas are not authentic. I didn't have to dodge him that time, because I was on a bus going in the opposite direction waiting to disembark. Edited 10 hours ago10 hr by guerney
