I really object, in a Victoria Meldrew kind of way, to hulking young guys cycling full belt down a pedestrianised area. Today, unlike a previous occasion, I could see him coming and get out of his way. But it's just too dangerous.

Earlier this week, I watched another pedestrian area cyclist ride past two pairs of community police officers; none of them stopped him!

Maybe I am just lacking inspiration or excitement; dull : disenchant(ed with my)present, pedestrian life.
