after 2 weeks of feeling crap and what not, nice ride down the canal this morning, even saw a gull attack an Heron also felt good cruising at 17mph down the tow path and noticed an oddity where I come of the canal and head towards Broad street in Birmingham , when cycling here https://maps.google.co.uk/?ll=52.477384,-1.915406&spn=0.001666,0.003484&t=h&z=19 my wireless speedo goes nuts, starts showing me doing speeds of 40-60 mph which is nice considering its a slight climb, when Im near the Island it goes back to normal.
I timed leaving the office wrong; a few miles down the road I was passing a local industrial estate that was emptying. It must be pretty frustrating for folk, as their barrier only lets one car through at a time. I let the first two cars timing it between the 2nd and the 3rd car. Accelerated up and drafted the 2nd (which to be honest wasn't hard as it was barely going 14mph in a rolling queue). Turned right (dead end left) and then left 15m later. Other cars were stopping him overtaking and then at the bend the car in front disappeared. So he went for it as I was turning left and I find the fixie responsive it wasn't really a problem but lol the car in front was stopped immediately round the corner in a stationary queue. Unfortunately left hooker managed to stop just in time and back to my original thought what goes on in their tiny minds
