Indeed - we saw a girl yesterday in full winter gear - we thought we were riding in a parallel universe - not sure how she will add extra layers when it does get cold and still be able to move!

Not a commute but me and my wife do a 15 mile loop most weeknights on our mountain bikes, before we get out into the the country we have to do a right here.
Last night there was a lot of traffic on the right side, as we were waiting the traffic came to a standstill, there was a car about 20 yards away that would have had to stop at the back of the jam, instead of doing this the driver decided to block the right turn, so now we can't turn right and the traffic can't get passed us on our side, I was waiting for horns and abuse from the cars behind, instead the driver of the car behind us got out walked over to the car of the idiot and told the driver that he was a selfish farking idiot, unexpected.

Not a good ride in or back concluding with a cop car causing a pinch point at Bow while pulling over a motorist.Not really the fact of that but for the fact he was taking up half the road and causing a pinch point for cyclists in the traffic jam.Then the attempted overtake on the Bow Flyover blocked out when I saw the danger leading to a punishment pass and the impression motorist wanted to pull over and discuss it with me at a guess.
I dont feel good at all having a go at motorists it does not turn me on at all but sometimes when they are driving like twunts it has to be done.If they want to take it further then thats up to them.

There's a set of traffic lights on my way home from work, a few yards up from the lights there's side road on the left, most of us leave a gap when queuing for the lights so that people can turn right into the road, every now and again someone blocks it off and everything coming towards us grinds to a halt.
Fair play for the driver telling the other one off.

Nice ride into work lunchtime except the to##er in a black audi estate who nearly took me out whilst pulling out of a parking space outside Henbury shops.

Nice relaxed ride back to the flat tonight perhaps too relaxed, after I collected a larger backpack and headed to the shops I was left hooked by a bus pulling into a bus stop (thats the first time I can recall a parallel pull in). The bus drivers in Peterborough are very hit or miss, some are excellent others are terrible
