I recognise that its odd, but I get a little giddy when I see that many cyclists in one place (that aren't a club/in a race)
I simply can't imagine doing my commute with so many other cyclists
around. It is brilliant to see. I am almost tempted to travel to London
just to cycle amongst them all!
----------------
Common sight in many countries around the world. Holland being the
obvious example. Its the UK that is by far the most anti-cycling nation
in Europe. We see this as some sort of abnormality yet other nations have done more to integrate it into their road infrastructure.

Death rates for Dutch and UK cyclists are very similar, and on a per-head basis Holland is measurably more dangerous than the UK.
So why bang on about Holland? It has nothing to boast about when it comes
to road safety.

It’s hilarious how every remotely positive tweet on cycling is
immediately followed by the anti-cycling fanatics rocking up in their
clown car to disgorge their ill-informed opinions. Isn’t it funny how
those with the most privilege always feel the most threatened?

Did you notice the one using her phone.
A car driver doing so in the same situation would be done.
Plus she has ear phones in. How stupid is that?

Lovely. But the mystery is where all those well kept old-school steel
frames come from? It’s like the opposite of the missing sock problem.

You're going to ride your chav-cycle all the way from 'Ull to London?

It's endearing seeing how English queueing culture applies to bikes at traffic lights in the UK.
Back home in the Netherlands, it would have been a cluster by the front, near the light, and somehow, everyone would get out fine and without any issues.

Not a silly plastic hat in sight either!

If those cyclists were in single occupancy cars, the length of the queue would be around 100m long.
QUITE.
