Strange one pedestran stepped out in front of me without looking between Limehouse and Westferry...I'd already started braking before he did it.
I had three on the way back but the first one was the worst.
Rare that I even get one though.

Stratford closed off this morning on my very early bike ride to get myself fit again after illness. The same happened at Mile End the night before. This ride went better than last night. More to come.
