Maybe this warrants a new threads. I'll decide after I've seen what the bar is like at the Waterfront in Swansea.

Ring road path seemed busier than normal, and the M32 was clogged, so normally drivers are nice and let you across the slip road ... Mr Grumpy wasn't having any of it, even though he could only go forward about 2 foot till he was about to touch the bumper of the car in front!!! Yes you might have been able to see that all the cyclists who went past the back of you were clear of the other slip road before you probably moved!!!

Muddy route back. Drying out slightly so was a tad quicker. Had a ticking from the wheel and stopped, pulled out half a thorn bush (slight exaggeration). Got home found a cracked chain link, which was near the quick link, so shortened it slightly whilst new chain arrives. Also pulled end of thorn out of tyre, no puncture !

It was still light when I got home! First time. It's nearly spring! 
OK it was still light at the same time last night but after a Monday including a 5-figure disaster and an unrelated accidental (not mine) wall demolition, last night it was still light when I got to the pub for a post-work de-stress

First cycle commute to the new job today, everything went well including working out how to get into the bike shed.
13 mile round trip so a bit shorter than the last one (20) but that's no bad thing, can always extend it if I want to

I don't know how they're received in the UK by motorists, but over here, the so-called "traffic-calming" devices, aka chicanes, seem to have the opposite effect to calming 
. Unfortunately one of my local streets has one of these, and I was approaching it yesterday afternoon, almost home, when a motorist decided his commute was too important to be delayed for about another 5 seconds by me, so accelerates and drives through the chicane ahead of me. I gave him the obligatory AirZound blast and 1-finger salute, but I'm pretty sure he just ignored it. Do UK motorists pay any attention to these things? Ours seem to treat them as a challenge: "hey, let's see how fast I can fishtail through the chicane, what fun!".

Yes we do have them. Far to many in fact and they are a right royal pain.
I always shoulder check then ride primary through them. Car drivers can wait until I am through whether they like it or not. Of course you do get the odd moton dick head who does try to race through or squeeze you out of the way. But they are few and far between if you let drivers know your intention.
