Pandemonium!!
A huge number of cyclists have descended onto the seafront...like locusts scurrying about with great excitement..hither and tither they go! Great to see them all.. they came from I know not where...but it looks to me like it is the tail end of the great european cycle marathon with Help for Heroes involved. Did we carry details of it previously..have forgotten for the moment as I write.
Here are a few pictures... I dangled out the window at risk to life and limb to get the overview..
the traffic was gridlocked in the melee to retrieve ones bike. The bikes were parked along the seafront railing for a while waiting for the coaches to arrive and there were quite a few of those. The coaches descended all at once. Gridlock! Hundreds of riders I would guess.
Here are some..just some of the waiting bicycles..
There were many disabled guys there...one chap with two artificial legs tripped over the pavenment at one point and fell to his knees. Four concerned guys rushed to help him but he was fine and laughing all the way. Which was good to see.
Isnt it amazing what they can do with those limbs nowadays.
Well done all.
