    Hilarious. Love the bewildered expressions.

    These are working people, being kept from the tools of their trade. Hope the “tricksters” paid them for the lost time.

    lols @ Jake, I think someone takes life a bit too seriously!

    mrben,
    Practical jokes are all very well when they’re played on somebody else. However, when they’re played on you, I suspect you would not see the joke.

    Delaying someone’s journey through a prank may have unfortunate consequences.

    What happens if one of these people is on their way to:
    a) work in a hospital ER?
    b) work as a paramedic?
    c) work as a delivery driver taking life-giving oxygen to patients?
    d) work as a delivery driver taking organs for transplant?
    e) donate blood?
    f) Some other time sensitive and vital service?
    What happens if they’re delayed and the consequent effect on someone’s life is adverse?
    Would that be very funny? I don’t think so.

    Sometimes life can be deadly serious.

    … or these couriers could have been booked for a “pickup” by the film crew. We just don’t know, so it’s probably not relevant to the discussion. What we do know is that everyone seems to be smiling at the end of the film.

    KarlOnSea, Good point, hadn’t thought about that. If that is the case should perhaps be some sort of “no animals were harmed in this film” kind of disclaimer at the end. Just pisses me off when cyclists, especially working cyclists, are seen as fair game for ‘pranks’.
