Tales from today's commute....

Not my video but a former CC contributor.
Not a good advert for Ribble frames.

Wow! Do you have any further information on this? Ie how, why and what happened next?

Meeting friends at Alexandra Palace Friday night for drinks after work.

Oh so nearly got doored in stationary traffic at Archway which got me a bit fired up for the Archway/highgate/muswell hill climbs. Ok not mega quick by Strava standards but smashed it for me especially as I stopped for 2 sets of traffic lights and a badly stopped bus.

Turned up dripping in sweat barely being able to stand but boy oh boy did it feel good

Looking to get some proper road tires..... but what?

On my way home last night, saw a very very lucky young boy. Bus had pulled away from a bus stop and was held up in traffic. I stopped behind it. Kid (15) goes up the inside of the bus and a parked van. Bus moves off and starts to squeeze said kid against the van, his handlebars got squashed against both vehicles, but he managed to survive.
Once clear I cycle up next to him and tell how lucky he is not to have been injured. "NEVER GO UP THE INSIDE OF LARGE VEHICLES" was my parting advice

Drove to work yesterday. Well boring.

Went through one of the rural villages yesterday and one of the private schools were back, chaos tomorrow I thought but still a day of two more of commuting bliss.

Oh I forgot to say it was a slow recovery commute untill I hit the cars backing back from the Rivergate Gyratory where I then took great delight in zipping by them in the empty lane beside them

First commute for a while due to holidays, took it easy due to a damaged toe, non-cycling related accident.
Ended up involved in some SCR when a guy on a fast hybrid overtook me grinding his big gears and trying to be as aerodynamic as possible.
Thought about ignoring them due to my toe but as usual they could not keep the pace up and they started to slow me down, so put it on the big ring and sprinted past.

Looks like a great week for cycling

Chased down a Garmin fanboy on a Cervelo TT bike this morning. Scalped comfortably despite me having a saddlebag on the bike. He did pass me in traffic eventually though when I made a wrong call at a traffic queue.

No commute for me today or tomorrow due to training and no where to keep the bike. I was impressed with the number of additional bikes around Holborn compared to last year. Missing the bike already

Glorious sunny, warm commute in SE London this morning. Some of the schools are back so there was a bit more traffic then usual.

Has some stupid moron driver pull out on me on a mini RAB. Knew full well I was there but decided to keep going anyway. I had to swing left, but managed to get a nice loud thump with my hand on the back car. Hopefully it woke the driver up.

Probably going to curse myself now, but I had a completely event free ride into work today

After my first road bike ride yesterday and fell in love. So I donned my lycra again with it been windy and took out the tank for the commute. Loved the ride and got a PR as well!! Must have been the lycra...

Just noticed SuperLeeds miles... 9,600 miles a year... Man I have some catching up to do. How many sets of tyres have you been through?

Edit: Hlab over 10,000 miles, flippin ek do you sleep on the bike?
