Hmmmm ... I've handed in my notice this morning, so I think my chances of borrowing a truck have diminiished dramatically! However, I'm happy to chip in for hire of an HGV, and to drive it (in London) should that be necessary.

I've signed on with an agency, who will (with any luck) be sending me to transport apple slurry in tankers from the cider mills. I'll be based in Ledbury, a pleasant rural 15 mile commute away, so I should be getting back on my bike, at last.

RT/User3143 - are either of you guys ok to drive a HGV down in London as if we hire the right kind of vehicle we'll need someone with the right license?
Who can contribute £10 to hiring a HGV- more the merrier?
Jake - you still got a film crew?
Once we're confirmed that we are hiring (classic33 the links were great), the other parts ie road closures etc can be sorted out and chased up.

Update:
Feedback from friend - Police don't deal with road closures in square mile - it's through corporation of London - Ben you mentioned some time ago that you knew a location to film that would be perfect- do you know which Borough within the city limits it falls within? Waiting on this friend to find out a contact for me -the personal approach is better than a generic - to whom it may concern jobby.

It's EC2 - not sure of the Borough. Will be passing close-ish by on Sunday, so will try to check (and grab a snapshot) if I get time for a detour.ttcycle said:

Here is an idea from Denmark, now if we can just get some cyclist like those to go with the road marking...

That's funny, I was thinking of a similar stencil in connection with the superhighways revamp. They could be deployed (ideally) in the part of the ASL that would be in a HGV's frontal blindspot.
The problem is encroachment though - the Danes adhere to signage and road markings, here most people don't give a toss because of the authorities' laissez-faire approach to enforcement.
