Tales from today's commute....

Stuck behind a horse drawn hearse down the country lane heading to the crematorium on the way to work today, this was after already being stuck in traffic on the main road so I was about 10 mins later than usual to work, good job I allow extra time for mechanicals etc .

A fresh cold headwind was about all to report this morning. Traffic was slightly busier again but drivers were polite.

Certainly a fresh cold wind - chose MTB longs and a Gillet, although the shorts are in the bag for the ride home. Another quick time in boosted by a slight tail wind on a 3 mile stretch.

Just under 10°at 7am, ok for shorts but donned a windcheater and long finger gloves. Sunny clear blue skies though the wind made it feel colder and made for a little bit tough going. Traffic was a mare. Pretty backed up every where. Thank fark for bus lanes.

Just a short ride in today as I am battling a head cold. Traffic along the High St then the new cycle lanes along Bradley Stoke Way. No incidents of chumpish driving. Sunny but a little cold, although I will be overdressed for the ride home.

Well, as its a tube strike day, I decided to go into our offices instead of my usual commute to and from my home.
1. Nice bright sunny day, little wind, chilly, but not too bad
2. Traffic massively increased - even near my home which is not affected by tube strikes
3. Lots of persons on bikes , especially e bikes who have no idea of road traffic laws or understanding red lights for example mean stop. Lots of lane changing without looking, lots of trying to undertake me etc. No point in saying anything as they all seemed to be wearing headphones - most often over the ear ones.
4. The good news is I have to face all of the above, plus lots of tourists on my journey home. Happy days are here again
