Thank the Lord, it's too cold for naked cycling.
Same again this morning, getting to quite like it.
Yesterday evening on the way home I slalomed part of the way using the whole width of the road just because I could.

Everything was fine today apart from a bus close overtaking in the afternoon when it was dark. Usually buses in my area i quite good. But it wasn't the main company it was a different company bus that is in our area regurlary.

Er, yes. Loads of the prats, almost every evening commute just now. It seems to be worse this year than even before. I suspect they leave car parks with newly-upgraded LED lights and forget, sometimes getting quite a way down the road before they realise. I've even seen a few on the unlit roads. I point at their headlights or flash my own headlight to try to remind the driver, if I've got a spare hand just then.
I'm waiting until a bit later this evening, in the hope of a bit less traffic

Yeah i know what you mean on the way home i saw another kid on a bike with no bike lights/helmet/reflectors etc.. On there bikes even dog owners are smarter than those kind of teenagers (i'm saying that as you see dogs with lights on there collars and hi-viz dog jackets) etc..Er, yes.

Nice warm ride in tonight, bit of a wind but otherwise steady commute. Busy passing through the town centre with traffic but plenty of considerate drivers moving over slightly to let me pass 
My commute was blissfully unventful today which was a good thing.
However my wifes commute by car was not so good. On her journey she stop and then filled our diesel car with petrol.
Maybe we should now just get rid of our one car and have only bikes. Hopefully you can't put the wrong fuel in a bike, unless I guess the rider eating not enough food or completely the wrong food counts.

Yeah, Scania Way crossroads, just west of the A47/A10 junction. I've lost count of how many times that's had some lights demolished since the road was widened.

Another fantastic commute in paradise (The North).
Finished my last shift of the week and cycled home in the warm and dry with a glorious sunrise. I had energy in my legs and was faster than the rest. I cut through the traffic with ease and the entire 10 mile trip was trouble free (as usual). I was easily more awesome than that southern loser @Markymark
I wish you could all be like me.......
