Tales from today's commute....

[martint235]

So because I'm enjoying my commutes at the moment I was in a cheery mood. Guy pulled up next to me at the Rochester Way traffic lights so I smiled and said hello. Fecker completely ignored me.

Further on some nobber got upset that I'd burned him off on the South Circular and so jumped two red lights in quick succession. Could be bothered to chase him.

Back in shorts!!! Yay!!!

Still missing my psycho!!!

I wonder if she's missing you or found someone else to play with....

I have a horrible feeling she's gone off me and found someone else to play with

Rejection can be hard Martin. Chin up lad.

I enjoyed following that storey, better that Eastenders...

First ride in for ages. Absolutely lovely morning, little misty but pleasant. I had one too many layers on, but loved cycling in again.

I have been slacking and stopped cycling for 2 months. Started again today and loved it. I forgot how much energy and positivity it gives you :-)

Truncated ride this morning, both effing brakes locked up, made them somewhat workable so I could carefully get back home again. Will reset them at lunch and see if that works. Bloody Hy-Rd, nothing but trouble since I bought the bike.

Completely agree!

So I'm not a huge fan of ASLs but what's with the nobbers on bikes that just roll straight across them and stop 5 metres later right on the edge of the junction. Complete daffodils

You mean the ones that you then have to pull out round, into traffic at your risk, to overtake 'cos they're always slower off the lights (and half the time they've gone past the lights so can't actually see when they change)...

... don't get me started - drives me mad too

I could happily kill those. This guy was at right angles to me but I just thought it a really pointless thing to do particularly as the ASL was empty

I never cease to be amazed at how many apparently pointless things other humans do, especially when it comes to roads.

Early finish today 1600 nearly made it home without the need for lights so slight extend to celebrate 10m instead of the normal 8m

Blimey it was foggy this morning, at points I couldn't see more than two of the white lines down the middle of the road. Luckily the roads were very quite.

Due to extensive work travel, and some light mojo loss, today was the first bike commute since late October.

It was dark, it was wet, it was windy, it was slow, it was glorious!
