Tales from today's commute....

[Cold]

Coming down the cycle path on the left hand side and a woman is cycling on the right hand side as we get closer she starts to go to the left hand side I then have to stop and so does she then she says sorry and cycles off.

An easy 50km ride in, lots of cyclists out this morning.
Seen a couple of nervous people on shiny C2W road bikes, reminds me of my first few times on a drop bar bike.

A lovely crisp morning & a fluid sub-2h ride... and in from the get off

Pass the suncream please.... Was not looking forward to tonight's ride in to work but in the end the sun came out and I rode in with short sleeves and shorts. Might regret it in the morning though because while it may be dry I doubt it will be quite as warm

Hope you froze your knackers off

Mixed weather this morning, got drenched, dried out, rained on again despite the sky being blue and the sun shining and dried out again before getting to work. Had to stop at one point and put on the full fingered gloves and stop again to put the pack cover on the rucksack when the first lot of rain hit me.

Hopefully saved someone from having their bike stolen this morning. Nice Spesh Dolce locked with very cheap cable but not looped through Sheffield stand. Easy to pick up and walk off with. Reported to reception and they were going to either move the bike or try and secure it. Fortunately it is in line of sight from reception

Forecast said no rain until around 9am. It actually started started 2 minutes before I left & the sun came out as I pulled up at work. Discovered the limitations of my showerproof jacket.

But gotta take the rough with the smooth. I'm sure I was still warmer than they looked in Ireland on the Giro d'talia & I did a 17.3mph average with one PR & loads of seconds.

Stayed with a friend last night so got to play on the guided busway last night and this morning. Got completely soaked last night through showers (typically, I had cleaned my bike at the weekend, not clean any more...) and wasn't looking forward to this morning due to my kit still being wet, but got a tow from 2 other guys (I did my share as well, I think), first time I've ridden with other people so was a steep learning curve, but good fun in the end! I'll be back next Tuesday morning!

Lovely ride this morning. Last night's ride to and from dancing was really difficult because my legs said no, but they played ball today. A few issues with my brakes locking up, especially when turning into a road with a police car just coming past - probably time for another service - but I felt alright today.

I had a guy do this to me on the way home last night - both of us on our respective left, but he then decides to move to his right, forcing me to do the same!

The path we were on was quite wide as it was an old road I moved to my left and she kept coming over on her right until she was basically in front of me no idea what she was doing.

Maybe she fancied you but couldn't think what to say.

approaching a t junction along cs3 with road markings for me to stop, applied brakes slowing for the junction the car sat at the junction waves me through so I raise a hand in thanks and glide through..... 100 yards up the road a black cabbie hanging out the window literally screaming at me! telling me how I am a (insert the word everyones wife hates) ****!!! and that I wasn't looking at the road markings and that I should have stopped, so I returned some equally pleasant remarks explaining that the driver had waved me through and not every driver is as much of a **** as him..... I cant work out why he felt the need to scream at me, silly little man
