Last night I watched in horror as passing a corner junction a cyclists following the lines nearly got took out in front of my eyes. The car swerved past me and it was inches from taking out the nodder, I am not embarrassed but I let out a girlie cry before cycling on.

I hate changing inner tubes. Firstly, I don't see the point of p*ncture resistant tyres, if they aren't & just mean it takes an age to get them back on. And secondly, even after finding the cause of the flat, I put a new inner in, which they immediately developed it's own p*ncture. At least I got twice as much practice changing inner tubes...Mine was going really well - would have probably covered the 20 miles to work in about 1hr 10min...until the fairy arrived 1.5 miles from work
A nice thing happened yesterday lunch time, yes really a nice thing.
I was cycling back to work at a fair old pace, I passed a young kid on a bike with his dad(probably) stood next to a bike stopped on a shared path which crosses the road I was on.
As I passed I heard the young kid loudly say "wow" and his head turned to follow me as I disappeared into the distance

No commute today. But some other poor soul on a bike riding uphill to the station got roundly abused for taking too long to get through the roadworks outside my house this morning.
Some of our local (audi) drivers are just complete sh|ts.

Not so long ago I spent an hour at the top of the A23/M23 changing inner tubes, three went in a mile (They were contis and the valve cores wouldn't screw up tight enough by hand) I had given up and was walking home to Purley when a kind soul gave me a Specialized tube which went up straight away. I did as I promised a left one at the same spot but not sure if he ever got it.
As with everyone hate that deflating feeling, and getting it twice in one ride is sooo demoralising!
Great ride home, only a few cars, warm, not much wind and managed to get my average speed above 18mph for the first time for the commute home. All the climbing with panniers on the commute bike looks to be paying off, I really flew up the climbs on good bike today. What a way to end the working week
