I was overdressed this morning and much too hot, it's still very mild out there.

Witnessed a cyclist have a head on collision with a 5-6 year old going through Clapham Common on the cycle path. Nasty
Numpty cyclist.

What a difference a day makes (please dont start singing) 
And I had my winter 
jacket on for the first time this year. I was deliberately going slowly so as not to build up a sweat (under the winter jacket and overtrowsers) and floated up a hill bump away from lights and a bloke on a geared road bike in short etc. furiously came by 
I cruised on at the same speed and reeled him over the next and flew by showing minimal effort.

Strong headwind, broken spoke, limp home, bike change, downpour, smidsy in Range Rover nearly forced me into oncoming traffic sub 15 mph average commute today and still preferable to being in the car.

Light traffic through Central London today, which was nice, and made for a failry uneventful commute.
It was chilly and raining this morning, the rain cleared up, but I did get a little wet, so wet from rain and sweat, nice.
Still shorts weather, but I am wearing a long sleeved running t-shirt.
I got pulled over this morning by a police officer along Burdett Road
, thankfully all he wanted was to ask me if I wanted to have my bike security marked and serviced for free.
I politely declined as I have recently had the bike serviced and still had another 5 miles to go to get to work, and I wanted to be getting to work to enjoy a nice long hot shower after my 30 mile ride.
He gave a polite "Have a nice day" as I left and I returned the compliment.
It's nice to see officers out and about on the street, visible in their yellow hi-viz, rather than sat in cars.
I cannot see that they will have many takers along Burdett Road, I mean it does lead to the CS3 which I prefer, but most take the CS2 because it is more direct.
