Sunday was the busiest day yet.
- Sunday 1 November 2026: ≈387 Checkers Sixty60 bikes on our street (288 seen on camera). The old record was ≈362, on 11 October.
- That's one about every two minutes, from 8am to 8pm.
- Saturday was ≈351, so the weekend came to ≈738, also a record.
Date: 1 November 2026
Sunday 1 November was a new record. ≈387 Checkers Sixty60 delivery bikes went past my home, and the camera caught 288 of them. The previous worst day was ≈362, three weeks ago.
Saturday wasn't much better at ≈351 (261 seen). That's ≈738 in one weekend.
What 387 actually means
A number that big is hard to picture, so here's what Sunday was like on our street:
- If you sat down for Sunday lunch from 12 to 2, ≈84 Checkers bikes went past while you ate (65 seen on camera).
- Put the kettle on and the next one usually went past before it boiled.
- From 8am to 6pm, the longest quiet stretch was nine and a half minutes. It happened twice.
And that's only the bikes the camera caught. It misses some, so the real gaps were even shorter.
On 3 July Checkers told us the shortcut had been blocked. It's got busier every month since, and now we've had the busiest day since I started counting in May. They've been told for over two years. I honestly don't know what else to say to them anymore.
Every bike from Sunday is on the evidence page, with a photo. If you live with this too, please make it public.
