Spring morning riding, very much feels nicer than even just last week. Despite all the cars reappearing

Excellent - might have to re-think the wardrobe for tomorrow !
Fragile this morning thanks to a dearth of both sleep and caffeine.
Despite the decent forcast I wasn't looking forward to the ride in, however I took it steady and it was really pleasant.
The mild temperature and glorious warm spring sun on my face were most appreciated, while the bellend count was low and I had some nice experiences thanks to others throughtfulness.
I particularly appreciated the the driver behind me on the main drag in who was happy to hang back and give me plenty of space as he didn't feel the need to race past to get stuck up the arse of the car in front like many, as well as the restaurant worker piloting a fat commercial wheelie bin who actually stopped and looked before crossing the road I wanted to turn into.
I think the weather's had a positive effect on many and it shows in their attitudes.. which is very welcome

Yes - I can catagorically state that I absolutely didn't smash three of the precious today despite my "diet"
Morning all.
@wafter said, it's a very nice morning for a cycle commute. Except for a total and utter bellend white van driver who decided to execute a left hand turn after over taking me. Luckily the old spider senses were working well and I managed to turn with him. He got a mouthful of words through his open window explaining that perhaps if he actually used his mirrors rather then just blindly turning in, he may have actually seen me. He replied with a finger. As I said, bellend.
Apart from that, I think it's teacher training day or some sort today so roads were pretty clear for a nice ride in.

Sorry to hear that - it's utterly pathetic how most just respond with aggression when faced with the cold reality of how their own stupidity / shortcomings have endangered others.
Presumably they resort to this because they're too thick to consider their own actions / their pathetic little ego is too fragile to accept any responsibility.
Tossers like this really boil my p*ss and present a very good reason to have a camera on the bike..
They boil mine too, totally arsechickens.
I'll never get a camera. I just can't be arsed with all the faff to be honest with you. And I would probably incriminate myself with my potty mouth

I've had a camera in the past, cops would do nothing and I'd just fester on things. For the faff it wasn't worth it for me.
I'd much rather cycle with a radar these days anyway.
