Tales from today's commute....

I'm on the train to work. So depressing.

Nothing at all to report today except the continuing absence of my psycho.

I got stung by a bee, halfway through the ride home. It got inside my jersey, then got annoyed with me, I guess. No harm done: the bee sting mark is barely noticeable, so I guess I'm not allergic to them.

I'm on the train to work. So depressing.

Why? That just doesn't sound right.

Actually had a numpty count of 2 having only gone a mile from home, two drivers both in a rush decided to squeeze past me down side roads, honestly the first one i went past not much later, the second knew he was a dick, hey ho it seems that few seconds gain is a matter of life or death!

Work do this evening so no biking as in my fancy clothes.

So the lovely people at Cycle Links sorted the bike out -salt in the mech apparently but had a meeting westwards so drove to that and now can't get to kings X meeting because trains are knackered.
Glad to be back on bike tomorrow

'It's a red light' some chump hollered as i was turning from The Cut onto Blackfriars Rd - no it isn't pal - cycle light is green and you're crossing on a red man. Was tempted to get off the bike and shake my fist at him in fury then remembered it would be pointless

It's a while since I rode anything narrower than a 35 tyre
Tonight I learned tonight that a wet Infirmary Road with it's tram tracks is not for road bike wheels.
I learned the easy way - I stayed on - just

^^having fallen off on tram tracks and got away with bruising, well done for not going over!

Nice enough ride in accompanied by drizzle but had a visit from the p******* fairy on the way home. Made me realise how much crud sticks to ones bike on a wet day!

 

[martint235]

Wet!!! Still it goes to show how good my new role is that I still quite enjoyed myself.

They've dug the middle of Penge up though which is going to be a nightmare for a while.

 

[Twizit]

Bit of everything this morning. Wet, windy, roadworks everywhere and all in all generally grim.

I loved it

... and it could have been a lot worse looking at the state of of trains in and out of Waterloo yesterday

Back on the commute today after a heavy night out last night. Decided to do the quick, direct route rather then my usual meandering, climbing one. Reason being it was teeming down with rain when I left. At least the temps were much milder then of late. The rain soon stopped and it ended up being a dry, warm commute. Quite enjoyable.

Curates egg of a commute.

mainly wet, but what really annoys me is people with no mudguards who overtake then pull in right in front and sit there showering you with crud. have a bit of decency if you are going to pass me, and go far enough ahead to not be a nobber.
