Tales from today's commute....

I played chicken with a pigeon last night...and he won...the cold look in his eyes suggests I wasn't his first victim....

On the plus side, it's stopped raining

The rain puts some off? If only there was some kit you could get to....hold on wait......

Mmmm, I think I might have a young nut-job on my commute. Two v poor overtakes in three days from the same young guy in a white BMW in the Toft area. This morning, 500 metres later, I pass him as he is queuing to get out of a junction and he is laughing when he sees me come past. I resist the temptation to stop and chat/re-position his wing mirror. If it happens again, I'll adopt a different strategy.

I might even stick a camera back on my bike

Are you commuting Sandbach to Knutsford? Not far from me I'm Middlewich to Nantwich.

The main thing I see every morning and it scares the crap out of me is cycling up Nantwich road the number of drivers who give you loads of room but that cross the double white lines approaching blind bends to do so. It happens 2 or 3 times each commute.

Bike into Halfords (after another naughty ride there when I shouldn't be pushing the front fork!), warranty fork replacement to be done in the next few days. Just hope they don't undo any of the work done by the LBS when servicing it!

Suns shinning nicely looking forward to the commute back, what a contrast to yesterday! But reading the paper today saying we are in for worst storms in 150 years makes me think I better not loose sight of my waterproofs just yet

First commute in 14 years. I planned a 20 mile route, but took 30 miles to get there.

Looks like my last commute for another 14 years!

Sun was out and extended the commute by over a mile. A lovely evening for riding a bike...

What a difference from this morning

 

[Andy Jeffery]

Nice sunny run home through the countryside. Must get faster on the up hills though!

Car coming towards me on a bend, and in one hand is her mobile, and the other hand was being used to sort out her hair! Don't even think she noticed my shout. Definitely one time when I wished I had a cam!

Rest of the journey was lovely including using detour which I had never been up on Purdown, fantastic views over the city, if a little muddy after the rain!

Had a pork pie for lunch, no idea what was in it, but I was flying home! Hope the doping testers don't drop round later...

Beautiful morning in Coventry, bright sunny and just a little fresh, ideal for cycling, just about to leave the house and looking forward to the ride to work.

Finally a day of superb weather, chain gang of 3 to bring us into Cambridge.
It makes up for all those days of crap weather that we all put up with.

Long may it last!

Sun's out, wind's gone, perfect day for getting out on the bike. Just need to get through the working day so I can finish the ride...

A glorious 60km ride in this morning and lots of cyclists on the roads, even in the countryside.
