Cyclists Protest Olympic Towpath Closure

Leyton Marsh & Lea Navigation, London. Sunday 22 Jul 2012
 
 More people have the mini-banners pinned on

 

 

 G4S are obviously worried that people might take to the Lea Navigation in these paddling pools

 The protest is having a barbecue

 

 The G4S navy watches the paddling pools

 
 
and we get some fine live music 

 

More cyclists are stopped and try to make sense of the notice 

There isn't really a sensible alternative route for cyclists - the only other would be along the
Greenway, closed months ago for the Olympics 

 

Bikes and the 10 ft electrified fence 

Another group of cyclists finds its path blocked 

 

For years there was the 'Olympic Kebab' in Hackney Wick, but now it is the Station Kebab. Why?
