Nice and warm going in to work today... (found a few idiots) but this one deserves the idiot of the day award...
This person decided to park on the cycle path... Not even a cycle lane... A bicycle path..!!!!!
Oh coming back was a small chain ring ride.... And there is no hills on my commute..!? #windy

Good and bad today. Good: although it was wet outside, I seem to have sorted my wet weather gear (at least for today). I'm fairly sure that all the water touching my skin is sweat: gloves, socks and jersey. 
Bad: felt very ill on the bike and generally. Technically this means I'm meant to give up cycling completely but for the time being I'm going to just put it down to stress and a touch of psychosomatic illness. I'll take it very easy for a couple of days and see what happens.

Dry and unseasonably warm out there, I was over layered and a bit sweaty when I got to work.
But I did it on my revamped Birdy and it was brilliant, I'm so happy to have it back in service but I seem to have grown longer legs as my previously marked and set seatpost felt too short. I'll have a wee fiddle at lunch and calibrate it right going home.

Spotted that young @User10571 going in the opposite direction as I was going towards Greenwich last night.

With a fatbike, you could just ride over that cretin.

In between here and there
Two really bad commutes, yesterday morning and this morning, everyone seems to be out to get me. Wonder if Zafria driving minicab drivers have got some sort of contract out on me, oh and the builder's vans and maybe a HGV or three. It really has felt like that.
Some of you London types moved up here? Normally I don't see anyone else on my commute but today there were two other cyclists on the Ring Road; one was a bit daring by my standards on the filtering; the other a complete knob-end, ignoring red lights and driving roughly how Mondeo Man likes to claim we all do.

Bit of a generalisation there about London riders, bit like me asking if all you northerners ride suspension MTB with 4 x 1000 lumen front lights and 6 multi flash rears pannier racks and thick knobbly tyres.
(finger crossed)
Not really; it's just that whilst it's very rare to see RLJ and whatnot here, it seems more common in that London, going by the videos I've seen. So I'd suggest that to a first approximation most RLJ types are London based. It doesn't follow that most London cyclists are RLJ types.

Strange one this morning stopped at a red light and the truck behind stopped about 3 car lengths away. Without the weight there would be a long wait as my bicycle does not set off the traffic light sensor. So I had to signal to the driver to pull up closer. So a nice driver pulled up close to me so we could both proceed.
