Good picture @palinurus the guy looks like he is really enjoying himself, hopefully he won't when the police collar him, the mental bar steward.

Must be getting on for summer, this knobcheese threw a bottle at me.

Aww..you ruined what was going to be my "feelgood" post - Must be getting on for summer, first ride home without getting changed first or putting a jacket on

Guess summer brings both the good and the bad

Report the incident to police and post his picture up on Facebook saying you need help identifying this scum. That's if you dont have his plate

Looking at the hair, isn't it Mike Score

I think I got a pretty good shot tho'

Or look at the bright side of it.... Maybe youre just that ugly

Joking aside I do hope the plod do go and knock on his door

Well we'll see. They might get him for littering too.

They did like the video stills.

Anyway I had to pick up a load of stuff from work today because I'm travelling next week, couldn't be arsed with the trailer so I got the bus to work.

Nice walk to the bus stop, got some reading done on the bus. Was on time too, not much traffic.

First commute on the new bike this morning

Bought the frame (Planet X Hurricane Ti) and built it up with bits old and new.

Took it easy though to see if there were any problems or niggles. But it ran as smooth as the proverbial.
A lovely mornings riding too apart from the naughty headwind.

Nice ride in this morning. Short sleeve t-shirt and fingerless gloves with no discomfort from the weather for the first time this year. Only a couple of nobbers this morning pulling out on me, but more than made up for by the total absence of close passes and the really nice driver who gave me loads of space and held back as I honked up a hill in totally the wrong gear.

Any update on this?

Lovely ride in this morning. Posted my fastest time in a long while. It feels good to be back on the bike after so many weeks off. My shoulder is still in a bit of pain, but cycling irritates it less than driving, so I shall continue commuting into work cycling when I can (although I do need to give my legs a break every now and then).

Schools out for easter!

Dropped the kids off at their grannys in the trailer as I knew there'd be little traffic on the way as compared to normal Mondays. That's the first trailer trip of '17 but I didn't tell them we were going in it so when they came out the front door, turned and saw it and you should've heard the screams! Then it was a matter of unhooking it and continuing onto work, riding some roads I hadn't been on since I was a teenager.

Went for a social ride last night. Freezing. Thought it was warmer this morning so ditched
the over shoes, gloves, and cap. Ended up putting the cap and gloves on. Annoyingly I had
opted to leave the over shoes at home. Won't do that again.

Anyway, nice tail wind on the way in this morning. It's going to be slow going on the way home though.
No issues to report.

Tried out my new planet x bib shorts and button hole chamois cream. Very comfy indeed!!!

Any update on this?

I have a crime number, someone will be in touch. I've had a couple of calls already, they may visit me to look at the video but I'm travelling on business this week so might need to sort that out later. I will update once this is all complete, plus a link to the video.

Screams of terror?

Nice to see a trailer being used for practical transport.

Far from it. The youngest especially (3 year old), has been begging to go out in it again after we gave it a good clean a few weeks ago. It's amazing though how much they've grown since their last outing in September '16!
