Tales from today's commute....

Saw a wayward ped/cyclist interaction this morning.
Why o why don't peds look where they are going? What happened to look right, look left, look right again?
The cyclists wasn't going too fast so luckily for him just got knocked over.

A driver holding their mobile whilst overtaking me, quickly dropped it onto the passenger seat when I shouted "put the f***ing phone down", it could have been a complete coincidence .

Makes you think though, there were all these road safety campaigns 30-odd years ago when there was so much less traffic on the road but I don't see anything at all now.

Bloody terrible return trip in to Manchester.

No cut ups, no shouting, no cameras or air horns. Paid 20p a mile to cycle 11 miles, to find meeting cancelled and had to cycle back. Horrible to be paid to cycle.

I need to go out and start a fight, on camera !

Cracking ride in today!

The sun was/is shining, no wind and a decent (for me) average speed on the Single Speed commuter of 23.7 km/h

Not long till I get to do it in the other direction, though I'll probably take a longer route home

Extended last night's commute by 3 miles as the weather was decent, colder this morning coming home and into a bit of a headwind, still I felt good so extended it by 3 miles that way too
Trying to get to 1000km for the Strava May Massive, just over 750 done, might make it.

Trying for some Strava segments on the way home last night, caught and passed a guy on a fixie 3 times. Passed him each time at a speed difference of about 10mph, then slowed for a very much needed rest, when he trundled past. A third guy got a bit caught up, and he decided he wasn't going to get passed again. A few PRs, but I'm not far off KOM on one of the segments, so will try for that next time.

On the tube today, nice to be able to get some of my book read for a change.

Decided to try a extending my route home today, however, I got slightly lost which led me into some semi serious off road on my new road bike. The poor thing ended up with an enormous clot of mud around the rear caliper even though I got off and walked that small section. Even with the proper cycle paths, they were not tarmacced, only hard core and I feared for my skinny tires and the P fairy.

Nice easy ride into work today, the ride home was a killer, the headwind is back, on one road I can go steady at 20mph, tonight 9 mph, at least the sun is shining

 

[Frood42]

Sun is out, but what an annoying headwind
I also tried a new route home due to the annoying temporary traffic lights on my normal route, and it wasn't too bad...I prefer the normal route, but too many cars are queuing at the those temporary traffic lights...

My left bar end is loose and it moves when I accelerate from the lights.

the threads have stripped because they're approaching 20 years old.
