But how did you do that?
In all my years of cycling I have never managed to do that. Chainring tattoo yes, actual cuts, no.
I've done it once. In mitigation, I was drunk.

@ianrauk I don't remember doing it. I only noticed at work... and I didn't have Bailey's in my cereal today...

Abuse from motorists seems to be at an all time high this summer. Sun gone to their heads, the lots of em.
Asshat older man in Audi blasting horn at me for being in primary position at a narrow section of road with cars parked either side. No mate, the horn is for situations where you are in immediate and present danger from other motorists only and not for stating your total-all-encompassed (imaginary) claim to the road. You Pillock!
I slowed right down after the second long blast of the horn, you know, just to wind this toss pot up. He was going nowhere and I certainly wasn't in a hurry!

Being on the late shift this week means leaving for work at midday(ish). After today's heat I'm sorely tempted to use the car just to get a few minutes of ice cold air conditioning 
Failing that it's leave a bit earlier, take the Giant flat bar and ride slower.

Dont worry, as it's only a 10 minute or so drive to work, the air conditioning won't really have time to get working properly, so I will be taking the leave earlier and ride slower option.
Not so much me but they seem to be blasting each other more....Also shocking behaviour from a motorist down the aptly named Cemetery Road who couldn't wait for a Learner driver to move so gave a blast of the horn also.Motorists STOP BULLYING.

Had one last night at an awkward road junction, where it is necessary to take the lane to save being left hooked by drivers failing to indicate. Sometimes you just get a funny feeling about what someone is going to do and sure enough he considered I wasn't moving forward fast enough and he hit his horn. That just brings out the Mr Awkward in me.

22 miles up the Old Gloucester Road to Leyhill this morning, then down the A38 to Alveston, off to Tockington then up through Lower Almondsbury to work. Really rather lovely and not too hot. Had to leave home at about 0720 without breakfast.
