Is winter over?

This morning, I found my route to work blocked by a police Volvo estate parked at right angles over a shared use path, its back almost touching the building behind it. The front was sticking out two foot into the road in front of it, forcing cyclists and pedestrians out onto the road towards oncoming traffic. No idea what was going on - presumably they were waiting for someone to drive up the road. Strongly worded email sent to force as soon as I got into the office.

Really? Why would you let that bother you enough to email them?

For me yet another commute where I got very wet, though the B2B path was extremely quiet in comparison to normal ... No chains formed this morning!
And then there was the trying to catch a green light, together with a car and the bike doing an enormous skid on cobbles, which ended with my front wheel at an angle but literally just avoiding hitting the car phew!

Cracking ride home tonight, wind had dropped and temperature was high enough to sling the bikesters in the rucksack. Fastest ride home of the year by some margin

I did not say the bike would be away all week, I might get in a day or two. (Next week I am in sunny Cabo San Lucas, Mexico where it is currently +33, )

Stop the press! There is another bike in the racks at work this morning!
A good 53km ride in, only a little driving rain that lasted five minutes at most.
With 1.5km to go some knobber decided racing me on a narrow shared path was a good idea.
I'm about to take the drop kerb on my left to join the road, but the life saver over my left shoulder showed the idiot trying to undertake me
.
As usual get on to the main road and it's game over as I pull away with ease
.
Their quick disappearance made me think they had turned off but on review of the rear camera video they just couldn't keep up
