Tales from today's commute....

[Johnno260]

Seeing the huge que of traffic and just gliding past them, fantastic.

Having to deal with office morons who loosened the QR on my front wheel.

Not wishing to tempt fate with another 1/2 hour of the shift to go, but today loks like it's going to be the first dry round trip of the week...

Edited to add while relaxing with a post work beer: no today.

Ride into work tonight was strangely melancholic, dark wet and cold, streetlights reflecting from the black shiny tarmac and the smell of burning wood and coal in the air. Ride home after a nightshift was headwind all the way.

I hope you dealt with them severely!

I sent one a colourful text, come Monday morning I’m going to have a strong word.

I only discovered the issue when I needed to brake on my way home going downhill.

eek, not fun...

Morons indeed !

It's a shame you will have to check your bike over in future, glad you were not injured.

Do you know who it was? That's just mindless, what did they think would happen?

After dropping the kids to school and a visit to the dentist I'd a 10 mile commute on the fat bike, with the majority of the ride flat or downhill. The ride back up is going to be fun later!

Well the bikes now being left at my desk so I can keep an eye on it, I told the office manager what had happened and said if you have issue with it being there tough.

I wont get an admission of guilt from who I think it is, if I catch someone touching the bike when I'm away from my desk I will kick off.

I have been putting the webcam on record when I leave my desk as the bikes in front of it.

Back on topic, it was great gliding past all the traffic again this morning, this partial commute by bike is really making a nice difference.

I would be heading straight to HR and having a very strong word that could have been nasty

The above makes my morning commute where i got caught in a 5 minute downpour look trivial

Back on the Heinz 57 SS commuter today after fitting a new rear wheel. It does not half feel heavier compared to the Boardman Fixie !
Here it is next to my two lovely Donkey’s at work

It was the Ribble as well!

I got some nice waterproof over trousers from Halfords the Boardman ones they keep me warm and dry.

Doesn't matter what bike still a bit wrong to say the least

I use the decathlon ones it just wasn't worth stopping for as nowhere was out of the rain and i keep a spare of trousers at work for these occasions
