Massive traffic disruption tonight, so I delightedly took to the cyclepath's until I got to the far side of town, then I went on a Gold Five commute

If it's just the wheel I'm not bothered. The wheel was about £50 tops and is on its way out in terms of wear.
I think I'm reasonably fair minded and he had the decency to phone me tonight to check I was ok. His mates started to try and argue with me and to his credit he told them to back off.

They borrowed me a wheel to get home.
In our house we say "they copped me a borry of".
Sorry to hear about your squish.

All of the pedestrians and a near blind right hook. I wasn't even ragging it, it's all incline on the way home yet felt like I'd had a really bad night at ten-pin.

Realised Aldgate is also crap even before the return commute tonight just before a motorist forced her way into my lane with no signal even though I was shining my headlight into her left hand mirror she still went ahead which meant I also managed to shine my headlight into her right hand mirror as I manoeuvred round the tin box.Did say "signal" as I went past and left it at that. Oh yeah before hand on the Upper Thames Street which I don't regard as a nice road cab driver overtakes and stops ahead of me when his next fare raises hand in the air,instead of drafting behind me dickhead.Use yer ferking brain if possible.The Stratford rat run was fun as usual.

That's my riding finished for the year. Got three days commute next week as in hospital Monday for scans, so I recon it's safer to pack in now and I may end up with intact undercarriage. Mileage won't be reached by a considerable distance. All my clothing is now away in drawers. Bugger.

Been an awful month for me too, was laid up off work with full blown flu for 10 days in November and then I staggered back in for my lighter of my two week rotas and just managed to work. Got back on my bike one day the following week and once this week. Been on holiday the rest of this week and started Christmas shopping, and now I have a streaming cold/temperature and headaches. My legs have given up the ghost and the get fit campaign will have to start all over again. Next week I have 5 x 7am starts and it will be pandemonium so I'm not sure I can ride as well leaving home 6am. How come fitness disappears in a month when it takes months to claw back?!

Good luck fossant, lets hope this is speedily sorted and you're back on the bike.
