Tales from today's commute....

[Supersuperleeds]

I also saw a tandem this morning. I set off in the dark, rain and cold - still in shorts though. Finished in the light, very sunny and warm, wind has picked up again.

Decided to take an alternative route through a nature reserve, all was going well, no cars, no walkers, nice paved path, then a burst water pipe with workmen blocking the way. At least I know you can cycle through quite a lot of mud on a road bike...

Very windy commute this morning so made good use of my Aldi windstopper jacket. Ride was only spoiled by WVM pulling up to roundabout and slowing, checking both ways then pulling out - as I was coming from his right! I didn't see his expression as I was watching for idiot who was trying to undertake me while this was happening, but he certainly saw mine! Aside from that it was a lovely sunrise...

Windy today, traffic chaos/road works everywhere, at least I only got wet going to work and not both ways.

Had a nobber in a car near home, I stopped at a red light lady was waiting to cross the road so I say 'It's OK lights are red' next minute the car sets off and drives straight through the junction
Luckily she'd just made it across safely, would have felt awful if anything had happened

+1 with the wind-started to pick up in the afternoon. Had the wind in my face for both journeys too.

Colder tomorrow, especially tomorrow evening. Might have to be a ride in longs.

Just a short uneventful commute for me; it was very mild but some idiot decided it'd be a rest night The only thing I can remember is the bloke on a mtb pedalling furiously to overtake but burning out within 1/2 a mile at which point I cruised by at my same speed.

Finally got my headcam working properly. This, combined with my new Airzound, means I can finally get some payback on the BMW Nazis, bus drivers and truckers... Happy days!

Got called a see you next tuesday by a cyclist on the way home.

Apparently it's my fault if you pull along side me, cut across me and slow down.
And it's then my fault if you later decide to undertake me and again cut across my path as I'm attempting to pass a stationary bus.

you crazy!

First commute on FIXED for a couple of years. Looking at the weather forecast I may regret that on the way home!

Great commute in. First sub-45 minutes 12 miles on the single speed. It was rare I'd manage that on Lelly with Catford and various temporary traffic lights in the way.

Stacked it yesterday afternoon, full tilt down slight hill dive in to right hander across mini roundabout bang goes my rear instantly slammed down on my right side. 6 hours in A&E they had to knock me out in the end to get my shoulder back in, bloody agony and quite a while off the bike. I fractured the top the ball joint too.
