Hehe, strangely no. First guy on the SS could've been a hipster. The second guy just looked like he had nicked a road bike with aero wheels!Hipsters. Did they have beards too?

I just couldn't get into the commute this morning. I took the long way round as it was such a lovely morning anyway. Traffic was really bad in parts this morning. Making for slow going sometimes. I also had a draft fairy a long way down the A21. Soon lost him in the traffic as he made schoolboy errors when in came to filtering.

Thieves then. A band of thieves. They come in troupes of 40, they say. Guard your wheels with your life!

Made it. 36 miles. 2nd person to arrive for meeting even after locking up and getting changed. Coffee time.
Nice route but some of the road surfaces were shocking

Tell me about it! Nice work, btw. Did not see you though!
Lovely blue skies and a crisp but not overly cold commute. Drivetrain is sounding a bit rough - chainring is probably now past its best and the jockey wheels are pretty much shot...Will stick on a new chainset, cassette, mech and chain at Easter...

Last night I rode home through Bradley Stoke towards Winterbourne to avoid nasty muddy bumpy roads.
I stay on the road because I find jumping on & off the shared use paths a pain in the bum when I am in a hurry. They are on the wrong side of the road and have very few entrance points.
A Burnt Tree Luton van nearly had me off, though, passing me way too close. Sadly I could not catch him up or get his reg number. I was on a road with a line of paint demarcating the "cycle lane" and was well within this. He was only just on "his" side of the white line which meant a horrible close pass.
Git !
