Spotted a new bike shop and added it, also added another one that wasn't there (and isn't far away - is cycling getting really popular now?)... Cyclopolis in Balham, London; its not open yet so I checked up on the 'construction' tag/value. Its construction=yes, as a general-purpose one!

This was all due to my trip to play badminton this afternon near Battersea, and I walked back home! Well the journey up on the bus (bike out of action at the mo) was horribly slow up Trinity Road - really tempted to find a way of marking that as a horribly congested route most days and especially horribly at rush hour (serious estimate of average speed in bus down that section = 3-4mph, pedestrians were passing us and we never caught them up).

The bus back would have been much quicker ('cos that side of the road is mostly emptier) but I felt like exploring a bit and doing some osm-ing. Didn't plan it, didn't have a clue how good the data is (suspected all road names done though) so just made redundant video notes of the 'extras' (ie mentioning things multiple times and in ref to other things I was sure would be done). Post-boxes (my thing), tel boxes, some of the shops
