Tales from today's commute....

[Sandra6]

There and back, no motorist related incidents. How is that even possible?!
Had to explain the principal of looking both ways before crossing to a couple of pedestrians at the end of my road though.
Every day this week somebody has stepped off that particular kerb without looking and gone right in front of me. Fortunately for us all I'm paying attention and don't run into them, although I'm tempted to.

Road commute today, traffic busy as ever, was looking out for an uncomfotable looking cyclist in red on the way home but didn't see any, did see a young lad riding thru the park with a torch in his hand as a bike light

We don't often commute to work but today was all dog walking and no dog grooming so I had no kit to cart about. 24 and a bit miles all in all, on MTBs as its tractor season round our way and our MTBs are filthy and muddied up to their handlebars and we haven't been off road. So happy we didn't take the roadies.
Foggy as anything on the way home but we had no near misses, didn't get shouted at by anyone or have any incidents of any kind.

A big traffic jam tonight due to a removal van unloading. I felt really sorry for all the drivers stuck on Park road as I wizzed past. Had a chat with a lady on Freiston road. Temp dropping again though.

Left work relatively late tonight (5:30pm) - boy, those poor car drivers stuck in one almighty tail back in Manc centre.

I did the opposite - left early (4pm) and found the traffic jams in all the "wrong" places! Commuted all week (40 miles each day) - feeling knackered tonight! But MUST do it tomorrow.....

Saw a massive dead rat at the side of the road tonight on the commute home.

Found a dead cat in a car park whilst cycling along a shared use path. Had a chat with a guy who asked me about it. It didnt have a collar on and I am going to ring the RSPCA tomorrow morning to see if anything has been reported.

Good plan, it might be chipped and have worried owners out looking for it

Observed a cyclist who was totally clueless about road positioning and road craft, she probably does not even realise her riding is putting herself in extra unnecessary danger.

Freshly deceased pidgeon on the way in.

Passed a young lass, probably early 20's, cycling from the opposite direction with no lights. Yelled "please get lights". I'm not being judgemental, she just looked about the same age as my daughter & it scares the hell out of me.
