Tales from today's commute....

[Alex321]

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.

Positively tropical

Was 6C leaving home, as usual dropped by 2-3 degrees by Peterstone, was 4C with a biting (Easterly) headwind for a large part of my journey in.

Forecast is for the wind to stay pretty well the same for a few days, so should at least have a tail wind home, and it was a lot warmer outside when we had afire drill an hour ago.

Coming in this morning to work, got passed by guy on overclocked ebike. A fag-packet mental calculation based on distance travelled (you can see about a quarter of a mile straight on) and time put him doing about 40mph....on a cycle path. Getting fed up of these muppets now. No regards for anyone's safety, the 'get out of my way' attitude.....

Why are these bikes even legal? I don't get it. Government could get them banned overnight if they had the will to.
