Took a long route today because the shared path I use is impassable by bicycle. Bit hairy, with lots of traffic, but better than the train.
Tales from today's commute....

Had a white van pull up in front of me, hazzard lights flashing and his window down... and giving in it the 'oy mate'... I'm thinking he either wants to tell me to pay road tax or is about to make the mistake of asking me directions.... it was neither. He had kindly pulled over to tell me he saw something fall out my pocket... which turned out to be my wallet!

I once saw a lady on one of those who'd tried to go through the flooded subway under Portwood RAB, I don't think it went too well

Don't, we crash tested a new decking ramp I built for the MIL at their caravan last year. We only had my FIL's scooter, which is light, so me and my son rode it up the ramp and down... scarey. Battery was knackered, so wouldn't get me up at 12 stone (ish). FIL is about 10 stone, but MIL is about 18. Her scooter is more powerful.
Anyway, both got up, and now the FIL's scooter has had new batteries, even my fat ass can get up on it.
The kids have tried to trash the ramp with riding MTB's and kids scooters up and down.

twas the day for silly cyclists .
the triban 3 rider who doesn't beleive in shoulder checks- you are going to get hurt if you keep riding like that . how the van missed you I do not know , and if you try to squeeze into the safe gap and actually take me out i will not be a happy bunny . its also called undertaking for a reason and if you had looked at the road ahead properly you would see i was in a primary position due to the bus ahead turning left blocking the road.
and the speshul (ized) rider who thought it would be a great idea to cut across me at the same time - next tim i wont take action and your rear wheel will hit my bike and you will fall off and i will laugh at you
