Lovely day for a cycle commute

Nearly got my elbow hit by a close passing van in Cheadle, gave chase to have a word but he turned off into a warren of back streets so i left it, probably for the best

Looked nice out, looking out of the car windows.

Mojo still not returned but a better than yesterday.

Let's see what the way home brings.

Ride over a fekking big hill always find my mojo at the top.

Saw the nasty collision aftermath with cyclist and bus on the CS7 this morning (around 8:40? along Kennington Park). Not looking good for the cyclist. Saddened

I should apologise to the RLJ unlit ninjipster who probably only went through red because he couldn't trackstand properly

I called him a nobhead twice. Which was bad form and disrespectful. I should have been more imaginitive rather than repeating the same one. I always forget cockwomble just when it would be so apt...

Sunday, strong Mojo but no legs, drove yesterday with it being wet, back on the bike today, strong legs but my Mojo's gone missing again.

On my ride home tonight I said, "Good evening ducks!" to the swans. I think it's funny to bring them down a peg or two...

Well and truly dazzled by some numpty with a strobing and stupidly bright front light at about 8am yesterday morning - had to shield my eyes. Fortunately for me it was on the Hyde Park cycle path and not on a road. Fortunately for him I was on a bike not in a car and can keep going in a straight line when I'm not looking where I'm going.

Better but still not close to 100%.

Chilly ride in this morning, thermometer reading minus 0.2 when I left home.

First ride into work on my new commute bike .... a second-hand Ridley Crossbow

Bit chilly. Fantastic dawn over SE London though and a nice clear run through. Almost got taken out at some temp lights where a guy pulling in from the left saw the van behind me but opted not to see me. He heard me though.

this morning was the first time since begining of year that there were signs of ice on the road and frosty footpaths , so be warned all

Cold this morning, fingers still tingling.

But I refuse to wear full length gloves until it gets properly cold.

Ride home last night was a bit chilly. I normally adjust layers thinking it will be a couple of degrees warmer than the morning. But got it a bit wrong last night. I also wasn't really enthused to ride the old mountain bike home. But it did gain some pace like a big barge.
I was also concerned I would just cruise. But happily found myself pushing well up some of the gradients.
Soft tyres gave a softer ride, but hard saddle took it away again. May invest in better saddle for this season!
