And they're off

Fleet Street

In the tunnel

Kingston

It's a short tunnel, under John Lewis in Kingston, and a race track as they try to beat the lights over the bridge.

Early morning commute

Broom Road

Mist, damp and cold

Red & Black

Waterloo

A rhythm of red and black.  Early, before the hordes spill out and claim them

Blackfriars cycles

Blackfriars Bridge

The Blackfriars superhighway on a weekday morning, has been described as 'resembling a peloton of the Tour de France', I agree.  Pedestrians cross at the lights, to try anywhere is is risking life & limb!

Old Street cycle race

Old Street

At this junction they pack up and race off, to try and beat the lights and get all the way across in one go. If you are a pedestrian, stay well clear

Waterloo bikes

Waterloo Station

At half seven in the morning there is a forest of bikes outside Waterloo Station and a queue for the Boris bikes (sorry Santander Cycles) By ten am the racks are deserted

Balancing act

Blackfriars Road

Now this is something you don't see everyday, a cyclist waiting for the lights.  Superb balance.

The racks are heaving with bikes at certain times of the day.  And then they all disappear
