I can even claim my first FCN points of the year, my hairy legs add two points to my FCN:smile:
In that case mine will add 5 ;)

As always the wide angle lens makes things look further away than they really are;), luckily I have good well maintained brakes.

All for nothing as they ended up stuck at the set of traffic lights just ahead where I was able to tell the driver how good their driving was:tongue:


Ive had a few of those I just give them a formal wave and mouthed f**ing dick head :smile:

Riding through a quiet residential road, there's a little boy on a balance bike on the pavement with his grandparents. His granddad is ahead of him cheering him on, and the boy's riding as quick as he can. The granddad points at me and shouts to the kid, "look, you're as quick as that man on his big bike".

So I get out of the saddle and ride like I'm sprinting flat out (although I've shifted to my lowest gear so I'm barely moving). The boy goes faster and faster, checking over is shoulder to see if he's still ahead of me. He wins the race to his granddad, I start clapping and tell him "you're too quick for me!", and he has a massive grin on his face.

Best. Commute. Ever.

Another commute record - did 45 miles this morning. Done just over 300 miles commuting this week, I might make my first ever 400 mile week by Sunday.

Weather was much cooler first thing this morning but was very warm by the end of the ride.
If I did 300 miles in a week the Mrs would serve the divorce papers, and I'd be on my knees.

This is why all proper commuters have a mirror :tongue:

Not a commute as such but I was riding your way home yesterday afternoon (4.30pm) the traffic through Cheadle was mental, filtering all the way to Stockport.
Also saw a guy being put into the back of a cop car with handcuffs on outside the white hart pub :rolleyes:
