I never wear a waterproof jacket, if I get wet, then I get wet, doesn't really bother me. I always shower and change when I reach the office anyhow, and we have a tumble dryer to dry my cycling kit if necessary.

Get you, tumble drier ! I have an oil radiator I robbed, and it's hidden at the side of my desk, otherwise I'd be getting into damp sweaty cycling gear. There is a drying cabinet, but it's not accessible, and kept under lock and key.

It is indeed a very nice feature of our office. It is a lot nicer having dry kit to put on when you leave, even if you are going to get wet again in a few minutes.

Another close call at the same place I mentioned a few weeks ago. Another two chancers tried to nip in front of me once thier filter had ended.
The second one again I really didn't expect to go for it, I'd held back slightly as I knew the first one would. Second guy just ignored me and carried on even when her had seen me. Think the camera is going to have to come out.
There are no visibility issues and today I was in a very bright hi Viz jacket and it was daylight.

Cold fingers for the first half but this morning was a cracker.

Different commute for me today, Paddington to St. Pancras on a Santander Cycle. I was going to do a loop of Regents Park en route but my cold fingers said no !

Sub zero and still misty for this morning's commute. The mist not only collected & then froze on my gloves and sleeves, but also on the lap area of my Ronhills causing somewhat chilly privates!

Yes it is not the best, I live just up the road so have to cross there often.

Another cold, frosty & misty commute. The temperature sensor in my back garden was showing -3°C and the Garmin showed -5°c for most of the ride. Had a silly slow speed off on ice on an exposed corner - I felt the back wheel slide and thought 'Oh Sh..' as the front then went from under me. No damage apart from scraping the new pedals.

Lovely ride in. Bit nippy. I manage fine with normal MTB gloves although my thumbs get a little cold until the first 'climb' then they are fine for the rest of the ride. Lots of cyclists on the Fallowfield Loop, and not icy. Looking forward to ditching the Ice tyres come March.
