Tales from today's commute....

[summerdays]

Bloke overtook me this morning and with a Good Morning and I can see your light half a mile away! That will be cos Mr Summerdays put new batteries in last night for me!

Best bit of my commute was turning onto the cheese grater bridge and realising a Steam train was leaving Bristol Templemeads!

I ran over a squirrel this morning. It just hurtled out of some bushes and made a dash for my front wheel before I could react. I'm not sure what surprised me more - the size of the jolt I felt as I ran over it, or the speed at which it disappeared again whence it had come despite being run over by my not inconsiderable weight (I mean, of course, my negligible weight PLUS my 20kg of commuting bike and luggage!).

Lovely ride home from work tonight. Dark with a continual misty drizzle and the smell of wood burning house fires at regular intervals, kind of like bonfire night felt like when we woz kids. Very atmospheric.

Total non-event if you ask me! Yes he was a tool (the badge gives it away) but hardly worth a quick mutter under your breath and not really any risk of colliding with him unless you were being as dozy as he was.

Now what is really annoying is the way your footage keeps surging then stopping continuously. I suggest you throw your camera in the bin.

You could see him from a mile off turning onto the roundabout.. why didn't you slow down? Agree with @I like Skol , a total non event,

If you're going to post videos every time something that trivial happens you are going to be very busy on here

Another commuting comeback for me, with the promise of 'perfect' weather from @I like Skol I took my 3rd best bike and no rain gear whatsoever, he is a pleb

Wow.. CX bike for the commute... Only a little harder on the road.. But doing gravel tracks and Bridleways adds a brilliant new dimension..

And actually the problem was the car on his left. It should have cleared the roundabout, or given way to him to give him a clear route. As it was he had to stop and get in your way.

He was already on the roundabout as you were approaching. You should have slowed down.

Warm this morning! Had a right sweat on by the time I got to work.

I had some knobber give me a lecture in how I wasnt allowed to shake my head at him when he honked me in primary, because he was just honking me to let me know he was there.
I knew he was there because he was about 2 foot from my back wheel, the honk wasnt needed. and I was in primary because I was turning right at the lights.
What a knobber.

Here's a screen shot of the incident, you were no where near the roundabout when he came out.

15degs when I left this morning... that's warm for a bike ride.
Yet why am I seeing other cyclists dressed up as if they were expecting the second Ice age?
