No Riot Here

Last night I went for a cycle ride in Sheffield. There were no riots. I hope this provided some minor public service, and a laugh.More details on what I did and why I did it at http://www.sumption.org/2011/08/10/no-riot-here/

    Going for a bike ride. Thought I might take my camera & telephoto "in case I stumble on any riots" but Gill has overruled me.

    No, I'm not trolling for a riot. I'm looking for safe streets, and to counter FUD. Will blog #noRiotHere, if I can be arsed.
