Shot Of The Week

Good morning my sleepy sunday people and welcome to the Shot Of The Week.

Some of you may have read the Evening Standard article last Friday (20th April) titled

"Chain gangs, spot London's cycle tribes"

If not then you can find it here

Nothing especially new or amazing in there but they did include cycle couriers in the write up and as you all know, that has been my day job for over 10 years now. Apparently I am a superhero of olympian hights....... SWEEEEEET ;)
Anyway it mention the rivalry between cycle couriers and taxi drivers. Now I'm not going to open the can of worms that comes with that discussion. I have met vial, horrible, scum of the earth taxi drivers and I have met wonderful, kind and helpful ones.  I think the same can be said for human kind in general.
It did however mention a certain courier who is now sporting a very ummmmm how shall we put it? Direct message of his view? on the backs of his legs.

I did approach the ES about using my images in the article but as yet, no reply.
So here it is for you folks, if your easily offended then look away...........




Ok lets add a footnote.
This is not my opinion, just a photographic observation of someone else's. Hell, one of my friends and ex-colegues is now a taxi driver.
I also have no ties or biased support for the Evening Standard and have only included the link to their page as reference to the article so you could read it for your self.

Enjoy your sunday :)))))))
