Tales from today's commute....

Not quite 'nuff said...where's this?

Southern Ontario, Canada. There was nothing when I went to bed last night, the drive was dry and clear. The picture was taken about 6am and it’s still at it.

Lucky I don’t live in the snow belt, about half an hour north of here they are getting a lot more.

What the hell was wrong with Leeds traffic today? Gelderd Road was a car park. Had to take car today and sat there wishing I could have gone on the bike. Also deeply regretted the choice of route, but seemed like a good idea at the time!

Aye, it was busier than normal this morning (approached via Wortley). Enjoyed the smug feeling as I filtered.

Apparently the M6 and M60 was a car park this morning. Was it ?

Today I rode along the long, narrow shopping street with a big Jag 4x4 on my tail. Lots of temp lights, crossing and traffic backing up on red lights.
Jag driver was worryingly courtious and careful and did not overtake in a rush to reach the back of queue. He overtook safely and barely had to stop as the lights turned green.

I gave him a wave.

Forgot to put a shirt in my bag, sitting in the office wearing a fleece over my baselayer.

I've done similar. Got to work, no shirt. Jumped on bike, rode home and rode back. Then someone says why didn't you pop in Asda - doh... It's literally down the road from work and I pass it !

I've also done this, at my central London office where it would've been a right faff to get the bike out again. I figured I'd go patronise one of the many nearby shirt shops, but they wanted over £50 even for the cheapest!! Ended up running over to Oxford St a mile away. Got back & changed just in time for a 10am meeting...

(I also keep a spare pair of socks & undies in my desk drawer)
