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....

And I did not have the joys of Maryhill Road last night.....was on and aircraft instead.
However today I am back in the saddle and hopefully the neds have not stockpiled enough to last till tonight!!

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 Laughing

You do know that all the leftover fireworks will be half price after this weekend? Twice as much ammo for the little gits...

Good luck on Maryhill Road. Your average speed will be up on Monday. Very Happy

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! Laughing

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

Please

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.
