Halloween commute

[PJ79LIZARD]

Any one have any ghostly experiences last night, I didn't see any paranormal activity, but I had alot of trick or treaters shouting at me all the way home. One shouted "can I have your bike" I said "yeah if you can catch me" this little kid comes running up along side me with his costume and a scythe in his hands snarling at me. It tickled me all the way home.

I hope you returned it to him afterwards.

Saw a bunch of kids out around half 6ish. One of them was just putting on a skeleton mask, so I shouted to my co-rider oh my god there's a skeleton, look out!

Didn't hear any laughs though.

The last section of my commute home is on a tree-lined old railway that has been turned into a mixed-use cycle path, and it was pitch black by the time I got there last night.

There's a short climb beforehand, then it drops down under a bridge at the start of the path – usually I'll pick up a bit of speed there, but I was conscious of two shadowy figures under the bridge going in the same direction I was heading, so I hung back and rang my bell....

The two teenagers parted so I could cycle through the middle, but their hoodies were disguising ghostly face paints that did take me rather by, er, surprise when they turned round... they smiled and said "alright", and I thanked them for moving out the way.

Did the last wee bit of my commute in double-quick time

I left work after 7 last night, when I got to CS3 near Shadwell, I was glad it was late. The cycle lane was covered with long smears of thrown eggs.

Nearer home, a unexpected firework going off in a neighbouring garden scared the **** out of me.

Nothing too ghostly- but saw someone knocked off their bike (didn't appear too serious, although I didn't properly see the incident), narrowly avoided a huge pile of horse manure smack bang in the middle of the cycle lane on Millbank/Grosnevor road, and a Transit van actually let me in after I mildly cocked up some filtering.

I added a subtle Halloween accessory to my bike.

I got a few funny looks.... but mostly smiles

You should have put your rear lights in the eyes.

With a finish time of quarter to seven the trick or treaters were out in force whilst I'm riding home from work last night, and I was pleasantly surprised to find everybody behaving themselves, the ride home turned out to be just routine.

Ah but that would have made me a silly cyclists with a red light on the front of my bike!

Instead I went for a white light in the nose....
