If you search on the word banker in posts made by me there are about 4. Look at the bottom one in Mundane news dated 16 August 2013.

Edit - sorry once you find it go up a few posts and you will see a longer conversation i had with the man that is currently sitting next to me and who was so drunk at the time does not recognise me.

Just had a read. The ups and downs of commuting by train!

It's interesting and too easy to read posts from a bygone era!! Ha, that's anything on Cycle Chat before I joined.

That truly happened though i only made him think i had forwarded his text on, i didn't really do it. I had people laughing on the platform for days afterwards when they saw me. Then i moved and today i could not believe it when he sat down next to me.
Commuter tales :okay:

Well no photos just a close call with a bin lorry. My back was aching when i got up so I decided to get the train. As I come through the tunnel at the rear of Bath train station I come face to face with a massive bin lorry on the wrong side of the road. I jam on the brakes and stop with my front wheel touching his bumper. He then tells me I should be going slower?? I was doing 10 mph on my side of the road ffs. I just has one of the station staff come and ask if I am OK and tells me it's a council van and gave me his details... Think a call to the council is in order later. Almost had a lovely colour themed photo of my bloody body.

My "like" is one of concern/solidarity not that i liked the idea of a claret stained campag carbon. The bike would probably melt anyway:whistle:

Make sure you do contact the council.
Don't suppose there is any CCTV you could get the Police to look at ?

Now the adrenaline has calmed down and I am no longer shaking I have noticed my right foot obviously got unclipped stopping me falling but I had knackered it a bit and my right knee is a bit sore.... FFS

Anyway numbers to crunch and two datasets to complete for some research then I may take an early finish. Onward and upwards people and be safe out there :bicycle:
