Tales from today's commute....

[Frood42]

Traffic queues along Woodford Rd this morning which was surprising
I went for the shorter 6 miles route, which meant I got a lay in and left later (met my mileage target for the week already).

I rather enjoyed filtering past all of the cars going nowhere fast

I'm going to stop watching the weather forecast. Local BBC said last night we would get rain overnight and then it would freeze. so I got the ice bike ready, currently I am having to switch front lights between bikes, so I didn't have to do it this morning. Get up this morning, car roof is very icy, cars in the street and next street are iced up, and then it was completely clear. Still a good work out, glad it is Friday though.

Didn't need the ice bike, above freezing and no frost.

Bent bike on the last roundabout before I get to work, being guarded by a policeman in a police car. Hope the cyclist is not too badly hurt...
Not what you want to see. :-(
Is it bad that I took a good look, and was relieved when I didn't recognise the bike? (i.e. I knew it wasn't anyone I know).

Some yappy little dog launched itself at me from the other side of the road, the owner just about managed to wrestle it from in front of an on coming car. Always nice to start the day with a bit of excitement!

Pretty much the same as my last dozen commutes, nothing much happened except from bypassing quite a bit of congestion.

Threre was a bit of ice on the fallowfield loop this morning. I think it froze a little in the exposed bits. I was grateful for the conti winters as I didn't slide! Phew!

Ah I stuck to the roads. Not surprised the hail/snow had stuck down there !

Some cars pass so close you wonder if they have steered around you at all...

Went to find a 2014 Boardman Road Sport and was told by a Halfords staff member to get the £499 Carrera Vanquish instead for the Sora groupset, so went for it. Looking forward to getting it on Monday.
