I guess by taping while you ride in London you could get quite a few people in trouble with the police in quite a short space of time!

On my way home last night I saw a Parks Police van on a Blues & Twos run must have been a report of someone's dog off the lead

ASL - Advance Stop Line

He was in the Cycle Stop Box (I was to the right of it, in the hatched area )

No wonder it takes you 20 mins to do 4.5 miles!! I almost fell asleep watching that

I have a video run of me doing a 15 mins run to work a couple of years ago, never going on youtube thats for sure.

Ah, got it - yeah I never listen to those either my reasoning behind that is that the cyclists never stop at the lights so they never need it!

So did you actually see him cross the 1st line before the traffic lights turned red?

The total runtime for todays clip was 19:30

I just skimmed through it and saw the following.

It takes me a minute to get from my Garage to the road, this includes the wait for the gate to open.

I then have about 5 minutes of not moving at all time due to lights etc.

and it takes me about 30 seconds to park up and stop the recording

So 14 mins to do the trip.

Given as its at best 30mph limits, with lots of slow bits due to heavy traffic, thats not too bad :P

Will try to do better :P
