I did sound just a tiny tinny bit judgemental there .. If I was as invisible as he was then I would probably not be riding on the road either ...

what's a "punishment pass" sounds kinda kinky
It's when a motorist passes you closely, deliberately in order to 'teach you a lesson'.

[QUOTE 2274565, member: 1314"]Loved the fact it was dry and almost windless this evening. Driver behaviour excellent yet again in SW London.

I don't have mudguards at the moment and not used to having a wet bum when I get to work. Definitely better this evening!

Sorry, thats the Autism speaking.
On a traffic light controlled RAB, a white van man decided he needed to get in front of me from the wrong lane, for the exit we were both taking I was in the correct lane.
So his cunning plan was a drag race away from the lights, which failed miserably, even though I am using studded tyres

Fairly uneventful ride in today was cold and hard work.

My legs have gone from killing on monday, to screaming at me "no more". Be glad to wash lube and chuck my ice bike back in the shed! Roll on Monday, new cassette, chain on my road bike, it will be bliss.

Nothing too exciting from this mornings commute.
However, amusing moment last night on way home. Some suped-up white Mercedes decided to put his hoof down and overtake me straddling both sides of the road. The speed camera (gatso) on other side of road went off The stupid thing was he had to slam his brakes on afterwards as there was traffic in front anyways...
Not sure if he'll get a ticket or not, as I don't know if it (a) had film in it, and (b) not sure if all the distance markers on the road surface work for a speeding car coming the opposite way or not. Anyone know?
