Tales from today's commute....

[straas]

Nice and sunny this morning - quite a few out.

Annoyed by a throbber on a fat wheeled e-bike that was obviously derestricted, doing over 20mph in the bike lanes. Wish police would do something about the derestricted ones.

Encountered a silly sheep of a driver this morning. She was driving a (fittingly white) Mazda and just blindly followed the car in front as it overtook me, only to have to halt due to another vehicle stopping and indicating to turn right a little way ahead. The sheep cut in on me and just about got in front before stopping. Baa!

What a day for cycling ❤️

50km long-way in ride to work this Morning. Via Sunrise at Southwold:

And a lovely; more direct 13 mile commute home. With a little video of riding down Lowestoft Promenade if you’re on Strava:

I clearly did a bad job with my new chain as it snapped on the ride home. Thankfully I have been more prepared for incidents as I dont trust my fettling skills that much, so I had the necessary chain tools and a quick link on me. 10 mins and I was back on the road.

Where have all the cycle commuters in Leeds come from? Sun's out and they're all over. But mostly going too slowly for my liking.

Trumps doing, he's a closet environmentalist and is driving up fuel prices deliberately to get folk to switch modes. Just like he's wanting to win the Noble Peace Prize by starting a war so he can end it. He's already did so 5 times, just no one has told the Iranians 🤪

Saw a manny cycling along with a golf bag + clubs over his shoulder.
Now that's something you don't see very often, first time for me anyway - !
