    I went past the site of the oops yesterday and discovered something else about the whoops. The only place it could have happened was on the ... ahem? ... centre flush median. There's a double transit lane (T2) there and plenty of room so WTF was this bike doing - an illegal passing manouvre? Flush medians are verbotten and will earn you a policeman's autograph on the bottom of a page from his ticket book.

    I avoid the white lines in the dry at all times so that it becomes an instinct to not be anywhere near them in the wet.

    Be careful out there.

    Their problem, isn't it?
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
