Bottom of the Kings Road by Putney Bridge? I noticed it hit the opposite pavement, and then seemed to head in my direction! Wasn't actually hit, thankfully, but one of the more bizare near-misses I've had....

I biked through Bermondsey, New Cross, Lewisham and skirted the edge of Peckham on the way home and no incident to report...

It certainly made me look very "Back to the Future" with my trail of fire.....

Hmmm, fireworks and bikes...I did stick a rocket down my seat tube as a kid and then put the seatpost and saddle back in, took me ages to find it in the dark

Nothing aimed at me.
But as I was making my way along a residential street near Kings Cross, the left over stick from a nearby rocket that went off fell and hit a parked car right next to me!

No, I had a car aimed at me- rear ended on a straight bit of road by an arsehole in a Mercedes
A firework might have been less painful

I saw very few during my 3 hour ride around Highgate and environs - very surprising as I would have expected lots around 10-11pm

The kids from the estate opposite aim them at our flat sometimes. We quite often find twisted firework remains in the stairwell.

lovely going though the park in the dark with fireworks on the edges made the commute rather fun has to be said and both the deer and I where quite dazzled by some displays.
