Quiet on the canal commute - just one other cyclist. Nearly hit a red light jumping cyclist. Older woman on a brightly coloured sit up and beg, with her pink raincoat, sailed through the red as I was coming through on green. Shouted 'red light', not a peep from her.

More people than recently on the A10 cycle way. Less than during lockdown. I don't think the wet weather helped. The carriageway is quieter so I suspect people are postponing journeys.

made it home in a densely packed train, after a high speed ride,dodging suicidal pedestrians and murderous drivers.
jeez a man of my age should be well past this daily shitshow.
seems as if there are still more people on the train.
might need to get some new tyres soon.
or possibly a new life.

Seeing similar numbers on my commute into Taunton, as I did immediately prior to Covid, which had been rising steadily over past few years. Certainly lot higher numbers than when I first started cycling to work, but hey, that was 39 years ago. ^_^

no sign of anyone last two days. Must be the weather, or possibly I'm the only mug working weekends.
someone has to keep the country going!

Mudguards on a bike immediately make the person riding more sexy. Those without mudguards are destined for a life of second best.
My brompton has mudguards too (I've got the Black Edition ya know) and one day I was riding it with black bib shorts, black jersey, black cycling cap, black mitts too. And these two guys were aghast of my appearance. They did not think I was sexy at all. :sad:
