Tales from today's commute....

[Arjimlad]

Long-sleeved top this morning, and I regretted not using full-fingered gloves. A nice ride in on country lanes.

Including a taxi driver steaming up behind me, who was very pushy, driving too close, trying to overtake on the approach to blind bends, aborting the overtake etc.. until I got to the long straight bit when he'd dropped back to 50m behind me and lost all interest in overtaking!

Perhaps something distracted him.

For some reason this song popped into my head on the ride in this morning, so I was singing it all the way in.
I'm not even in a union. Go figure.

Is it my tarnished imagination or were there a lot more brunette lasses about in the early 70s - ?
This video and others of the period seem to back my memory up.

Cycling back home after dropping our car off for it's annual service, I was amazed that a big Beemer actually gave way to me on our narrow road - !
But the confident speed I was going, he / she was probably more worried about possible scratches - !
