Is it getting worse?

[summerdays]

To be fair I am on the road at 5.30am
And because I don't reset the Garmin until after I get home it counts as one ride 'with a 12+ hour gap in the middle' which I have to fast forward through

But doesn't it count all the people who pass in that 12 hours too!!

Not every cyclist is on Strava then!
Joking aside, I guess some don't record the daily commute, only the longer rides.

But when I've left it running its recorded those who passed during that time, even with about 10 or 20% using Strava you would still get some passing you!

Hold on I'll go have another look, see you in 14 hours

Had someone try and overtake where there were bollards the other day - think their car came off worse tho

Aye, 2, as I said
Today I left home at 9am, saw one cyclist in the first 3 miles. gets busier (3 is a crowd!) on reaching town. Told you, it's the sticks here

When I get on my bike at the start of my commute I've usually passed 3 people before I get to the first junction (it is a well used route).

In fact at some junctions and routes in London it's starting to reach critical mass with cyclists.
@Sittingduck & @gaz , who commute into Central London will tell you how many cyclists there can be on a daily commute.

I'll try and get some videos up. Some junctions are more than 3x the amount of cyclists to motorists.

Don't ride CS7 any more, I'm a CS8 man these days, on both trips
I did go the Dirty South way home last night though as The Embankment was dbl scr*wed due to Boris master plan roadworks AND HRH Whatsherface's opening of Parliament. I prefer 8 over 7, these days - able to get up a better head of steam and hold it for longer.

There can be a crazy amount of riders on Gaz's commute route - particularly at peak rush hour. Good fun... usually! Increased numbers have definitely helped to force drivers to be more used to having to share the roads with us. Obviously you get a few asshats but I think you always will.

I sometimes look at flyby for the morning ride in and there seem to be a lot who use Strava now, I wonder when it will be the majority of riders? Here is Today's episode - you can ignore my loop-the-loop error at Lambeth Bridge RAB... was expecting the road to be closed further up still but they have shifted the closure further down this morning - threw me a curveball.

Look at all those other bikes, here's mine from this mornings 21 miler, I got two and to be honest I didn't see either of them.

Yes... do.

I've had marks left on my jerseys by wing mirrors hitting me recently. I went to tear the head off of a muppet in an MPV, who nudged me at a set of lights in Woking last week. The lights changed just as I got to his window.

I see very few other cyclists on my commute

Was he doing the I'm not looking at you/can't see you trick. I've had this done a couple of times recently as I was berating them.
