Tales from today's commute....

Well, last nights commute home. Just left the office, was getting into the segregated cycle lane on Clarence road Bristol when about here where the van is, there was a bloke in a big van who - for some unknown reason - had driven into the cycle lane and was trying to back out of it into rush hour traffic at an angle but got himself 'wedged' with his rear wheel bumping over the kerbs...

I've noticed a few cars driving in the segregated cycle lane on Baldwin street over the last couple of months, presumably to try and avoid the bus gates

After a 2 month + break in cycling for Christmas, holidays and travelling for work I've been getting back out on the bike and boy has my fitness dropped off in that time!

Cycle home was chilly and a little damp, but at least this time I wasn't dry heaving at the top of a hill. Not sure what traffic was doing, but massive jams made me feel a little smug overtaking a mile of cars whilst I was struggling away.
