Rabbit on the road is more usually seen in the country than Central London, but passers-by in town on Saturday were treated to the rare sight of urban lapin. This breed is not only somewhat larger and significantly less dead than its rural cousin (observations made from typical specimens), but has apparently evolved small wheels on its hind paws and moves fast enough that Aesop is seriously rethinking his tortoise fable.
Yes, after the easterskate publicity photoshoot we headed out to practice for the Bunnystroll. In Mayfair, Marylebone and Fitzrovia, Starbucks customers, car drivers, police officers and small children looked on amazed as the rabbit invasion hopped down the road past them decked out in furry ears, bow ties, and (for the does) cocktail dresses and tights.
Official photos to follow, but here's a cameraphone snap to be getting on with.
And, let me tell you, hopping everywhere is a lot more tiring than skating normally ...

Also more flamboyant dress sense than its country cousin, by the looks of it!
