obviously driving the increase in electric bikes and electric scooters. dissident leader and thought criminal renegade peter hitchens currently leading an impassioned campaign against e-scooters. some electric bikes weight as much as motorbikes and go almost as fast. dont like seeing them on cycle lanes really.

sort of a merchant middle man csituation ferrying goods across the seas.

i was reading a bit about them in my Poplar research becasue Poplar has some deliveroo dark kitchens on wasteland under some flyovers/railway bridges. amazon have pumped a couple of hundred million in to keep them afloat while they try to capture the entirety of the food industry.

visually, as an image, its a load of desperados hanging around street corners, grizzled civil war veterans, child rapists, fugitives from justice, cartel hit men, waiting for the app to beep, drinking beer, huffing nitrou, smoking weed. a whole class of men we have elimated from the gene pool come back to deliver soggy chips and cold burgers.

a visual index of the underclass serf society, very similar to the way men had to hang around the docks hoping to be chosen to graft for the day.

In thoroughfares nigh the docks, any considerable seaport will frequently offer to view the queerest looking nondescripts from foreign parts. Even in Broadway and Chestnut streets, Mediterranean mariners will sometimes jostle the affrighted ladies. Regent Street is not unknown to Lascars and Malays; and at Bombay, in the Apollo Green, live Yankees have often scared the natives. But New Bedford beats all Water Street and Wapping. In these last-mentioned haunts you see only sailors; but in New Bedford, actual cannibals stand chatting at street corners; savages outright; many of whom yet carry on their bones unholy flesh. It makes a stranger stare.


But, besides the Feegeeans, Tongatobooarrs, Erromanggoans, Pannangians, and Brighggians, and, besides the wild specimens of the whaling-craft which unheeded reel about the streets, you will see other sights still more curious, certainly more comical.

A Deliveroo cyclist was spotted biking in the outside lane of a busy motorway after his sat nav took him on the "wrong road".


Railway worker Scott Inglis, 32, filmed the moment he saw the cyclist on the M8 near junction 16 for George Square in Glasgow on Saturday July 3 at 4.12pm.



The unidentified man was cycling in the third lane that is coned off for roadworks, and he crossed two busy lanes to get onto the 50mph section of the motorway.

He shouted at the cyclist: "What ye dain [doing], it's a motorway you are on - you're off your f****** heid."


The cyclist then yelled back: "Wrong road."


"Wrong road, absolutely, f****** maniac," Scott replied, while laughing.



He later shared the clip online with the caption: "Wrong road? Think you could be right mate."
