Hazards of Commuting - Now this is what I'm talking about

[Krellon]

Hi there

This was my commute tonight. The wet and windy Southern England.

Hope you enjoy it. I think I enjoyed riding it :-)

That's a lot of puddles! And I thought mine was bad lol. Although I managed to get home with relatively dry feet last night. I have taken to wearing my waterproof walking shoes, but even they have their limits

Hehe cheers, I only showed a few of the puddles. I didn't want to make the vid too boring so didn't show a lot of them. Also, these are quite shallow.

Check this out if you want big puddles. This was my commute a week ago! I got through the first one but didn't actually make it through the second. Which was actually a ford! :P

And this is a prime example why my mileage is so bad this year! I don`t do wet commute`s.

It's not so bad coming home. It's quite refreshing actually and I can shower as soon as I'm back but the ride too work sucks! arriving wet cold and no where to hang the Lycra. :P

Yes, I am happy to resign the title of Ford Prefect!

Your arms looked like they are locked out on the tops?

I must apologise but I laughed a bit when you fell off in the second vid

To come a cropper like that, and laugh about it, I doff my cap at you. And to do it when there's a (ahem) 'sensible' cyclist in such close proximity to bear witness to your error? You sir are a star!

I believe you misunderestimated (to quote George Bush) the depth there. Was that a depth sign on the right as you entered the ford?

I only ever tried cycling through a ford once.... never again.

Looks like your front light is waterproof, though!

Chapeau for showing it!

I'm glad you were able to see the funny side. It looked like the front wheel just went out from under you - slimy surface I presume?

If you haven't already, it may be worth regreasing your bearings after that.

Sorry...I laughed too!
