On the daily commute through Kings Cross this morning I saw one those organized bike checkpoints on Penton rise.
You guys probably get this a lot but what are they checking? Insurance? I’ve sailed right through 3 of these this year now…
They more than likely check for anything they can make a bit of money from. Welcome to the UK theyank 
Good choice of bike btw 
i did read a while back they were checking that bikers insurance covered “commuting” strange i know but true, allegedly…
How do they prove that you’re commuting?
They probably just ask you where your going and you say work because you think nothing of it.
I question the random part of the stopping . They see my home made blue peter bike and start rubbing their hands . . They are then disappointed when it turns out to be legal but by then its 20 mins later and I am late for work .
