Very much depends on where you live, police forces vary considerably. But for me, it's the only way to make things change.

I have made two reports via Operation Snap here in South Wales, and on both occasions they responded saying positive action would be taken.

Warm this morning. Avoided the showers, but just had overshoes on to keep my tootsies dry. Had to stand under the dryer to dry off as I was dripping in sweat - got the desk fan cooling me down now !

Got rained on. But only briefly dry again by the time I got to work.

Raining almost al the way in today, but not cold, and not windy, so actually not an unpleasant ride.
Loving the change from Marathon+ tyres to GP5000 Tubeless - the three commutes since I changed have all been about 1mph faster than my previous best this year.

Some evil person has put a 'butty van' right outside the entrance to our building as it's a student 'open day'. £2.40 for a bacon butty or £2.95 with a drink. How evil. Here is me on my 'overnight oats'. Resistance, resistance.

I did resist, then had soup for lunch.

Good for you. If it helps I'm currently resisting eating more before bed.

On the way to the company: Close pass from a tractor driver with a manure trailer on a narrow road after he honked several times on me. While overtaking me he turned backwards and yelled something. Reported it to the police this evening.
Shortly after that I saw a great spotted woodpecker and later had a close pass from a BMW driver.
On the way home there were four white storks, a few green finches and a woman in her car overtaking me on a small road with her phone on her ear.
Decided to try a lower gear today - mostly 44:22 instead of 44:21 which I formerly used. Turned out that I'm not slower than usual and therefore I probably will switch to a 42 teeth big chainring on the commuter.

Lost 10kg in the last 3 months, so keeping it up a while. This even includes two holidays and illness in the middle. I am trying to behave a little.
