Tales from today's commute....

Slightly off topic, but why do you imagine for an instant that this will change? It'll just be quieter!

Because unless they programme the AI to also be an peanut, they should overtake in a sensible manner. Plus there should be more room for cycle lanes as AI cars can interact with AI lights and reduce queues. Less vehicles on road, no need for parking spaces etc.

It's raining, it must be nearly time to go home.

A trifle damp.

I was lucky, it didn't start raining until I got to work. Let's hope the forecast for a dry afternoon is correct.

Wimped out, after a weekend on the lash Also need to do some work on the bike, new pads bought and will nip into Decathlon for gear cables. Halfords let me down again !

Nice weather dahn sarf today. had a brief argument on Blackfriars with a car that got stuck on the yellow hatch and then thought I should move out of the designated waiting area for cyclists to accommodate his incompetence.

Lovely start to the day along the guided busway in the shape of a Barn Owl flying level with me before going off on its merry way to eat something ! I have never seen one in the wild so life is good.

Winter weather has returned. The first 12 miles had frozen cars, the first 6 miles of which were in dense fog. The rest of the journey was just cold and damp with my toes gradually getting colder.

Broke my rule of not cycling in icy conditions Was not too bad if you try not to be a super hero on the commute.

I hate to say it after getting a bit of a downer on the commutes recently but last nights trip in to work and back for the night shift was AWESOME! It felt fairly fast without trying, conditions were good (even this mornings icy works car park was risky but in a good & exciting kind of way) and the drivers actually managed not to be complete a'holes and settled for just being mildly inconsiderate rather than trying to kill me!

Last night tonight so biking it again in the hope that the good vibe continues...….

A spectacular dawn lighting up the sky and a truly beautiful near - conjunction of a very thin crescent moon and the planet Venus this morning.

[as an aside googling "Moon venus conjunction" disappointingly gets lots of astrological bullocks attempting to scam naifs. The Jodrell bank website gave me some confirmation of my amateur astral body identification. http://www.jb.man.ac.uk/astronomy/nightsky/#planets ]

One of the fellow cyclists arrive at the bike shed as I was leaving this morning talking about the visibility and brightness of Venus. I was going to crack a joke about him talking out Uranus but he is quite senior to me so I thought better of it.....
