As above fine spring cycling with plenty of other folks around.

Mine was a bit chilly. Glad I had the long sleeved jersey on, should have put the leg warmers on as well, with temperature down to 3C at one point.

Beautiful bike, what a lovely photo.
Thanks. It's a Tern Verge D9 for my cycle/train/cycle commute.
I did have a Brompton but sold that on. They are so overrated. The only thing going for a Brommie is the fold. Apart from that, the Tern is better in every department.
The photo was taken in a private estate in Rochester I cycle through every morning.
A bit chillier this morning but in a better state when I left thanks to a broken but welcome nine-ish hours kip.
Overcast but still very spring-like with an inconsequential amount of moronic behaviour from those on the roads. Sausages were good, saw one of my old uni lecturers who unsurprisingly didn't recognise me but it was good to see him out and about.
Feels like we've very much turned a corner at long last

Still no commuting for me, but I went for a walk yesterday lunchtime and it was bloody lovely. It's been so nice I've bought a new bike!
Steady on - let's not get carried away!
Where was all the traffic today? Half term was last week round here.
Nice swift commute apart from one hairy moment with a car trying an emerge from a side road behind parked cars, while I was going about 25mph on a steep downhill, causing avoiding action into the oncoming lane (which fortunately was clear). At least he stopped when he was blocking half the lane so there would probably have been space had there been traffic in the other lane.
Shorts this morning too! But beanie and a buff this morning to keep ears and neck warm.
It's going to be warm going home. Brought the mitts for the return journey so my hands don't melt.

Spring knocked today - nearly everywhere:
Saw the first bee and three brimstone butterflies.

I wonder how this bike would be for a long distance tourer over hilly ground? Say, LeJog?
Rather than delete this comment I thought I should say that talking to Tern they say this bike is not versatile enough to be used as a touring bike.

Wasn't the LEJOG but when I started cycling I went on week tour with https://cyclingsafaris.com/itinerary/ireland-connemara-galway-and-mayo/ and one rider had a Tern we weren't going fast though.
