Smirking at drivers.

[2Loose]

There are roadworks near my workplace that means people are taking over an hour for a two mile journey even at 7am, so tomorrow I am diverting my commute to ride through it and brighten the stationary drivers day.

Best bit is that the roadworks will be there until the 9th April - I think I am going to get a lot of mileage out of this, may even manage to get some colleagues to consider using their bikes for a change.

It's good isn't it. More smirking the merrier ! In driver hating mode at the minute - might take a few days to calm down.

Where? In Nottingham? I may have to divert as well

You should put a basket on the front of your bike with some flowers, a French baguette and some bottles of red wine.

It's by the A60 roundabout near Ruddington, so people heading out from West Bridgford are having a lovely day today! lol

Into Leeds every morning I do the same; there's a constant queue each day into the city centre.

BTW I used to go out with a girl who lived just by that roundabout ... many years ago.

You could put some croissants and a flask of coffee in your front basket & sell them to the queuing drivers ?

Sounds like a lot of fun I love nothing more than passing a big queue of cars

The Nottingham Knight roundabout? Lovely, that's my neck of the woods, I ride from Arnold to Keyworth several times a week, so I'll make a point of going through Nottm amd West Bridgford instead of going round the ring road and then through Ruddington!

Childish isn't it?

Come Olympic time, London is going to be awful with traffic. It should provide a further boost to cycling as people try to escape the traffic jams.

I have to admit I love cycling past lines of traffic, its even better when a car cuts you up to beat you to that line of traffic. The only time I've felt even more smug is when I decided to jog home instead and went past a 2 mile stretch of traffic grinning at each car as I passed it.

 

[jugglingphil]

For extra smugness cycle past whole line of traffic, then go back and do it again! Extra points for spotting work colleagues and waving.
You'll still be quicker if it's taking over an hour in a car.

Pass a few cars, stop and pretend to fix a puncture, then pass them again!!
