Commute home I was on a shared path, jogger coming towards me staring intently at his phone, on my left hand side of the path. So I stuck to the right hand side and didn't slow much as there was a lot of space. As we were about to pass each other he finally realised I was there stopped and did a little hot shoe shuffle, actually almost dodging into me. It was quite amusing, that might teach him not to stare at his phone while jogging.

Legs didn't want to go fast so I enjoyed the scenery and sunrise this morning. This afternoon was strange as I had a pair of yoofs smoking big spliffs try to race me through fishponds tunnel then a gent on a mountain bike just ride at me on the wrong side of the cycle path until I shouted "wrong side mate" and he told me to "f**k off".

I nearly jumped out of my skin this morning. I was cycling up Chapel Green Lane and was almost at the junction where I was intending to go right so looked behind and found an emergency vehicle with blue lights but no sirens coming up behind me, THEN they decide to put the sirens on! Managed to pull over ok but I assume I visibly startled! I wish they had put them on as they were approaching the bend to give me a little more notice.

Me too, really shook me up. They overtook me far too close, and if the sirens had been on earlier I would have been able to get over to the edge and stop quicker.

Been lurgyfied all week, now have sore throat to go with everything else, I'm feeling rougher than a Badger's a***, for me to have the lurgy is almost as rare as hens teeth, so a rough shift bookended by a pair of commutes I didn't enjoy.

yea I hate that as well, had one last year, I actually took primary through a pinch point before realizing he had lights flashing, if he'd used the horn I'd have just pulled over and let him past.

To the cyclist in all the BMC gear on the A21 tonight, (but not a BMC bike I may add). YOU were rubbish, let me repeat that but in capitals R-U-B-B-I-S-H!
Jumping lights and riding on pavements. So you could get ahead of me. It must have been very annoying for you being overtaken by me every time, baggies and pannier et al. Must be something to do with you not yet learnt how to clip in from a standing start. Oh that, and that you just weren't very fast. Anyway, hopefully you did take notice that I was wearing a CycleChat jersey and you may think to visit this forum, especially here in commuting.... Helloooo!!!!! :thumbsup:
