Tales from today's commute....

[Frood42]

Lovely weather again, pity about the annoying headwind which slowed me down a little in places (still manged to average 15mph over my 22 mile commute, which is quite good for me on the hybrid, my best was 16mph, but I have no idea how I did that...).

General traffic seems to be better as well lately, still get the odd numpty and selfish 'person', but it is happening alot less than it used to.

Another sunny day, this summer is the complete opposite to last year, thankfully. I also like the fact how clean the bikes are staying, saves me quite a few hours at a weekend. Quick wipe over with baby wipes, oil and lube, job done. I can get used to this!

This gorgeous weather is dangerous....
Last night I was cycling down a dead end road that gets no real traffic and has no pavement so peds just wander around it not looking and a guy was randomly zig zagging because he was too busy looking behind him when he managed to get into my path with a metre to spare I shouted OI!!! and he turned round and apologised.....

What was he looking at? An attractive young lady in a short skirt...... I am not blaming the lady in any way but had it been raining she would have been wearing jeans and a coat and he wouldn't have been ogling!

Macc to Congleton. 10 miles of peaceful lanes. I have a really great commute! If I cycle quickly it's just 8 minutes...

Cycled to work for the first time in several days. The heat hasn't been kind to me, suffering from depression when I can't sleep I get more unwell. It was hard just getting up for work let alone throwing a leg over a bike. I decided to pack my uniform today and rode in some leggings and a short sleeve cycle top. Near the Mall I had a nice chat with a hidden copper who was waiting to catch a stolen Astra that had been seen in the area. Ride was nice but far too hot for me.

Glorious ride home, got chatting to a lovely lady who was commuting to Rugby, rode with her for about three miles or so, made a nice change to riding on my own

Better video of my commute. It's got to beat all that city traffic!

Only 12 cars overtake me on the 10 mile journey.

Well nice start to the commute home followed some young guy on mtb down the canal. Rode at a decent pace following him. Had nice chat when we both stopped for a breather and sip of water then that fecking fairy who's name shall not be mentioned struck. Only to find out my pump that I haven't used in 2 yrs (it's been that long since that fairy visted me) is a little mangled inside the head so struggled to pump my new tube up. Few people stopped offering help which was nice. Still got home nice and safe.
