@ianrauk

You've not seen his shorts then (actually no-one has)

Shame there are not more of them about.
The must be someone in control of the bollards watching the CCTV, would be a fun job to have .

I think they're just automatic on a sensor that's on the bus.

I thought one that was allowed through was a post van.

Good point. Maybe they also have an override for other authorised vehicles.

@benb

I think the authorised vehicles have a button they press in the cab.

Got my bike back from the LBS today and its riding like a charm .

Also had a moment where a runner on the road (no path) moved across to overtake a bin, at the same time as I approached and a Daweoo 'Super' Carry. All four of us were side-by-side at one point. Bet it looked proper Monza '71 from in front.

They had a certain 'look' about them, don't know if you'd describe it as Burberry though, more the hanging out of a window shouting abuse at passing cyclist type

Hey!! I've worn shorts at least twice ths year

Dull, Wet and windy tonight, that is all I have to say!

 

[potsy]

Enjoyed the ride home, bit drizzly but nothing too bad, plenty of cars to filter past, no incidents.
Aldi Ultra Bright jersey worked well, even had a colleague comment on it's 'glare'

Decent commute today. Bit of a tailwind in the morning and no sign of the expected headwind on the way home. One the road for 2 and a half hours and I didn't get wet. And I was in short sleeves. Who said summer was over!

 

[ianrauk]

I got home just as it started to rain.... lucky....nice clean bike is nice and clean.

Was expecting the worst on the return after the commute in.I felt tired before I left this morning but after ten minutes I felt more lively,so it must be a circulation problem,was dreading the Thailand tour as I felt so bad.(thinking it was going to be like this all the time).Coming back at the start I felt cold but eventually got warm and stronger/faste.Tailgated at Mile End by idiot with young kids on board and Beemer fast close passed at Stratford,reckon he was in a hurry to get home due to school tomorrow.

Wet again !! Just fitted new pads as my existing ones vanished last week. Had another 'deflation' less than half a mile from home - the dodgy Conti tube - thought it was the valve, but there was a dirty big piece of glass in the tyre. Patch now sticking as I type !

I've had two p****res in two days. I think it's the combination of early Autumn ludge on the road and wet weather. On front and back tyres too.
What am I doing wrong? Conti Gatorskins thought they were pretty P***re resistant
