CC'ers spotted on the commute...

[Rancid]

my route is from Norbury (SW16) to Wimbledon (SW19) at 7.30am and back again around 5pm.
Riding a single speed Charge Plug and not going to fast.
Theres a fair number of cyclists on the route i take, i susepct not a lot of them are CC's as they dont seem to care much for thier own safety.
Is there ever a good excuse for not wearing a hat or having some lights ?

 

[BentMikey]

I usually wear a woolly hat!!

MrO made me work hard this morning. 32mph at around 160rpm :O

I wear a baseball hat for my commute.. is that ok? Lights, yeah I have a few of those.

I find that a baseball hat does not fit tight enough and can lift off at high speed (yeah right!) or in strong winds. I use a cycling cap that fits the head very well. The peak provides shade in sunlight and keeps the water off the glasses in the rain.

It has flown off a couple of times.
One time as I was bombing up the A21 to home it flew off, luckily there was a cyclist behind me who caught it mid flight...

I always wear a buff underneath which seems to stop it flying off.

Baseball hat for the commute, cycling cap for rides.

Why do I never see anyone? Come on there are CCers in South East London, we must cross paths sooner or later!!! And I am fairly recognisable even on days I'm not wearing my FNRttC jersey!

Oh just remembered I did see Zigzag once.

I doubt i have ever seen another CCer either , but i am out in the sticks

A lot of us know each other from rides out side of the commutes, such as FNRTTC or forum meet up rides.
From there it is just faces and bikes that helps us notice each other.
