Something you don't see everyday: a truck stopped by a mounted police. My gf saw it on Queen and ran to get me to take pics.
Was it speeding? Does it have something to do with the dent on the side? Was it a get-hit and run? What's the cop using to process the guy? Is he phoning it all in? So many questions.

In a very quick discussion, MTV's Vicious Cycle forum skims over a bunch of issues around cyclists and drivers sharing the road. By the end it feels like they've managed to mention all the issues and stereotypes without actually engaging on any of them. I do like the argument partway through between the courier and the taxi driver when the taxi driver claims to know as much about cycling as courier because he bikes about 3 times a month - precious. What we've learned:
Admirable that MTV is tackling this just before winter - usually the media dredges up the war of bikes versus cars in the spring.
From Tamara Askew. If your ungrateful child just hates all the expensive gifts you purchased for them, perhaps they just wanted a bike. The video mentions a UK bike store, Bonthrone Bikes, as the place to buy these ungrateful ones what they really want, but really you can find some closer to home. If you're thinking of buying me a bike, please first consult at Hoopdriver Bicycles first, but I can make do with Urbane Cyclist or Curbside as well. Now you have no excuse.
