Default TfL cycling (on-yer-bike posters) spot-the-problem quiz

TfL are currently publicising a load of cycling route guides on
various tube stations posters / newspaper adverts etc. You may have
seen one with a cyclist with motion blur cycling past a pie and mash
shop.

Now if you next see that advert, see if you can spot what's wrong
with the picture. There's something that's just not right with it,
especially given who is promoting these cycling guides.

I'll post the answer on this newsgroup later.


The cyclist is riding on the wrong side of the road?


Correct. The cyclist is riding from right to left, with the bike wheels
almost in the gutter, next to the pavement, therefore they're on the wrong
side. Surely TfL should be promoting safe cycling, not cycling like the
idiot on the poster.
