To my joy and surprise I discovered not only that the occasional person does read this blog (ooooh) but also they actually act on it. Steady now my friend. On Saturday night I bumped into a friend in what's often rather laughably known as "Victoria Park Village"* - basically it's the roundabout area just north of Victoria Park - we talked for a few seconds only, but then he said the magic words:
"I was reading your blog about the "incident" on the canal and when I biked on it this morning I was extra careful and extra polite".
Wow - a testament to the power of new media? Living proof that the brand known as KarmaCycle has finally made it mainstream? errr... more like a mate who I'd sent the link to had actually bothered to click it, but nonetheless, a first for me, and it gives me extra impetus to continue. ("For heaven's sake", I hear you cry, "don't give KarmaCycle any more impetus - he'll only go and write some more nonsense"... etc etc)
* Whoops, sorry, I've just found a link to Victoria Park Village dot com and found out that in fact the area is not only "delightful" but "a true East End London village". Actually to be fair, the first is certainly true.

Adding to that, i guess there are lots of silent readers like me, reading and implementing the good things... ahh i meant the Canal story, am more cautious now :)
Thanks Kannan - that's good to hear and gives me added encouragement to keep up my rather esoteric mutterings about biking and London ... good to know that you're there, hopefully enjoying some of it! Cheers.
