- Glasgow's sunny southside
Filtered past a queue today, into the ASL, in front of a bus.
Lights changed and I was away first (going from the vicky to victoria road round the side of queen's park, for those that know the south side). I was cycling into two lanes, left hand lane full of parked cars. Just outside the door zone there are loads of manhole covers so I moved right and took primary in the right hand lane.
The next set of lights were red. Me and the bus were both turning right so I stayed in primary. The bus moved to the left, straddled two lanes and pulled along side. The driver opened his window, looked at me and said....
"That was a steady 27mph big man - not bad going at all"
We then had a quick chat about my journey, route and cycle computer/speedo, before the lights changed and he waved me on ahead.
Cheers to the driver of the "66". Made my day!

- I just love my new trigger gear changes, I can get up to speed away from lights so much easier and quicker than the old twist grips
