Tales from today's commute....

[palinurus]

Yesterday was grim, cold and wet. Darker than it should have been. Bad enough that even the cat didn't want to go out.
Better today, but my bike has developed an annoying squeak (I hope it's a rubbing brake pad- although I thought I'd fixed that yesterday).

Very nearly drove, but by the time I'd brewed my coffee, made sandwiches and toast, I was feeling half human after a poor night's sleep so I decided to double check outside.

No ice, wet and it felt significantly warmer than last night's ride home. So got the bike out and off I went. Stuck to the main roads though.

Gave the chain & derailleur a good old wipe & clean last night after a wet commuting day.

Sometimes wish I could carry a cheap tin of beans or similar in my back pocket for those drivers who think it's fun to tailgate me as I dodge potholes and flooding along a manky country lane. The rear camera doesn't always pick up the reg and from experience, the police rarely action tailgaters unless it is really obviously aggressive & prolonged.
