It always makes me chuckle when other riders don't acknowledge or even reply to me when out on my bike

I know, it's cycling, its meant to be fun ! By way of contrast a cyclist caught me up last night, we shared the road for a mile or so, had a good old chat and then went our separate ways. That's how I feel it should be.

Short commute tonight, but riding across Taunton saw no fewer than 25 other cyclists (norm would be 6 to 10) from commuters on road, fixed, urban and MTB through teenagers on BMX to Mums with kids in bike trailers and balance bikes....awesome!

Pubs should have a "fair weather cyclists use the lamp post outside" rule on their bike stands
Back home, now, from a 13 mile midnight commute.
Beautiful full moon to ride the country lanes by... Which is just as well, as my front light was faltering badly!
Not sure if it's the battery (I'm certain it was charged) or getting to the end of its life
I do carry a spare set of lights, but they're emergency jobbies only.

Lovely quiet commute, there and back, yesterday (and this morning). Full moon, really beautiful through the moonlit lanes from Isham to Sywell.
@biggs682 There is a new temporary bridge over the railway by Weetabix
Accessing it is still a bit of a manoeuvre, though! Great fun in the dark, at midnight, as it's totally unlit
Back home by 01.00.
Car today, as the warehouses are locked up, so no access to the bike shed and lockers at my finish time

The only good part of being at work today was the commute. Thanks to the good weather it got extended to 17 miles in and 28 miles home for a 45 mile round trip!

after the scorchio weather yesterday I turned the 4 mile commute into a 21 mile one on country roads. complete soul food.
Today was a bit different on the way in as commuting through town as it's quiet at 06.30. I had a slight altercation with a taxi driver who felt he could just abuse cyclists by shouting at them and get away with it. Yes, there was a reason I was using the middle of the road, the big f#@k off pot hole at the side of it. Did you need to over rev your engine, wheel spin and drive on the other side of the road to pass me aggressively only to get caught at the lights 50m on? no. fud. end of.
Have a nice day folks! bad weathers creeping back in from tomorrow, and I swear I heard the weatherman mention snow on the TV this morning.

Filtering this morning when SUV turns his wheel & blocks me off whilst I am alongside. Either deliberate, or done without checking mirrors. I can't decide.. I chose not to ask the driver.
