This floating footbridge really tested my karma ...

I've got the old helmet cam working again - has anyone been down on the Regent's Canal recently and come across this walkway? You're expected to dismount and obviously most don't. Would you? BTW - some people may be offended by the T-Shirt the woman in front of me is wearing. I thought it took a bit of guts to sport something like that!

The Cycle of Karma

When you're cycling around 100 miles a week through London, you develop some strange notions. The one I can't get out of my head is that you build up karma - good and bad - depending on how you cycle. So - if you stop at red lights, wait politely for pedestrians, smile at cars, you get rewarded - the next light turns green for you straight away, someone smiles back at you - you get the picture. Of course this doesn't always work, but it works often enough for me to try to cycle by those rules. Most of the time.
