CYCLISTS ARRESTED OUTSIDE STADIUM
Several cyclists were arrested on the outskirts of the Olympic Park on one of the main thoroughfares

A number of cyclists were arrested during scuffles with police close to the Olympic Stadium as the opening ceremony got under way inside.
The incident happened on the outskirts of the Olympic Park on one of the main thoroughfares to the venue.
A spokesman for Scotland Yard said police intervened when participants in a monthly cycling event breached regulations restricting their route.
Police vans headed off scores of people from a pro-cycling group as they rode in formation close to the park.
Officers blocked off their route and some were forcibly removed from their bikes as others tried to break through a cordon.
The spokesman for Scotland Yard said: "A number of people in breach of regulations imposed on a monthly cycling event have been arrested."
He said police would confirm the exact number detained later.
The arrested cyclists have been detained under Section 12 of the Public Order Act.
Could do with fast forwarding through the parade. Boring as fuck
But for a lot of these people, this is all they're really going to get.
Think how many will be twiddling their thumbs by the end of the first week.
There was an old kraut in the crowd giving it nazi salutes.
This is the worst disco medley ever. They should put Firestarter on again, that might get the fuckers moving.
^ Does sound like a bad night in an empty night club.
Too many countries these days.
If we were all one country there wouldnt be any need for any of this nonsense.
Nah its the Arctic monkeys, Coldplay got the closing ceremony.
The Brits did a good job. Torch relay at the end was a nice touch. Impressive ceremony.
Well everything but Stayin’ Alive

Well there are medals in several sports today, among them judo, archery and swimming, but the big event is surely the Cycling road race, with Froome and Cavendish.
Starts at 16:00 Thai time if you want to watch it.
^ any web links 'Arry? The cycling could be very interesting.
