Spot the knob at 49 seconds getting on his bike, just after the "No Cycling" notice. Is that another of your good friends? I see it is called a "Foot Tunnel" - any idea why? Do you know if cyclists are actually breaking a by-law by cycling and what the penalties are? How does one go about reporting them? It looks like a bit of pedestrian/citizen action is required (uk.legal added) -- Bertie Wooster's real name is Tom Crispin. He uses the name Bertie Wooster so that people involved with Young Lewisham and Greenwich Cyclists and John Ball primary school can't see what a tosser he is. |

It looks like a bit of pedestrian/citizen action is required (uk.legal added) There is a bye law specifically prohibiting the riding of bicycles through the greenwich foot tunnel. The relevant acts are dated 1855, 1897 and 1903 and called : The Thames tunnel (greenwich to Millwall) Act 1897 and the Metropolis Management act 1855. One or both of these were updated in 1903. Section 3 States: No person shall ride a bicycle, tricycle or other vehicle in the tunnel. Above taken from 'The Metropolitan Traffic Manual' by Carrol Romer |

Sorry - I was hoping for a sensible comment. - I had forgotten how stupid you are. Odd - there is about ten seconds of footage of "cyclists" in the tunnel - and 2 out of the six in the tunnel are cycling. Is that typical - 33% - or is it usually more? |

As the original states 'forty shillings' I imagine there must be a modern update to bring it up to modern standards. If the cyclist refuses to give name and address to a constable's satisfaction then it is an arrestable offence. from : http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=D...e-laws&f=false various wordings were updated in 1965 http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1...ade?view=plain |

If the penalties are specified in an act from 120 years ago, it could be something fixed in monetary terms, which would now be tiny in value given the effect of inflation. Are you sure that these old acts weren't repealed by The Local Law (Greater London Council and Inner London Boroughs) Order 1965? |
