Tales from today's commute....

[BSRU]

Got stiff legs from the Gym yesterday, rain shower has stopped, long way home I think, then Gym again later. Yay. Might even look into Spinning classes !

Now can I have a fight with a driver, play cat and mouse round Cheadle, then maybe film a mobile phone user, on my own phone, whilst cycling down the road non handed ? Nah, I can't ride non-handed !

I think everyone can ride no handed just a question of how long for, in my case probably half a second before I panic and crash .

But surely it affects your aerodynamic profile?

Crikey it was raining really wet rain today.
Lots of water on the roads too, all on the bits of the road where I tend to be.
Unpleasant discovery that my waterproof pants aint all that waterproof afterall.

You weren't riding no handed when I saw you on Longley lane tonight

Nice Monday commute, quite busy coming home, traffic jam right outside work which is always a bonus

Would help if there was a strong tail wind .

Bikes where stolen from my shed over the weekend so today I was on the train and I recall why I hated it so much.
Some stupid woman pushed me as she wanted to get off the train. But she had just followed me half way up the carriage and I had to stop to let others off before me. She didn't appreciate the 'easy love, no need to push' followed by the glare.

Very sorry to hear that.

Bikes are insured, not sure about all the equipment that I had on them though, which was quite expensive.

I know, but the car..... really?

Got to be better than the tube.

Well today was quite eventful. I saw an awful lot of bad driving, one bad cyclist and a greater than normal number of suicidal pedestrians Still, I managed to endure the lot without getting riled, so I was quite proud of myself.

I felt awful and tired,groggy just before the return of my sixth consecutive commute,I improved as I ate up the miles,loads of bikes on the Mile End Road which surprised me and was nice to see.Even the tin boxes behaved well.
