Today was Scoot The Thames, an annual London ride out for
vintage scooters. It began by Aldgate and criss-crossed Old Father
Thames across his bridges - Tower Bridge, London Bridge, Southwark Bridge, Blackfriars
Bridge, Westminster Bridge – before ending over Waterloo Bridge on Lower Marsh
Street for tea and biscuits.
With the sun blazing there must’ve been a couple of hundred
Lambrettas and Vespas stopping traffic and causing a spectacle for the general public.
As always it’s difficult to take snaps that capture the scale of the event or
even the sights. Unfortunately it's not easy to flip the camera out the pocket as zipping over
Tower Bridge on an SX150 (although I did try) but here’s a little collection to give a small snapshot of the
day.
Many thanks to the organisers, marshals and everybody who
took part. See you next year.
so cool!
