The happy "nothing bad happened on my commute" thread ...

[CharlieB]

Just such a pleasant change to have some decent commuting weather. Mind you, this cloudless morning has reminded me that it's got to that twice-yearly time when the rising sun is straight atcha!

Here's my good bus driver from Saturday:

Had a great commute home tonight, so back to normal after this morning hiccup. Even had a joke with a driver who had music playing loud. Maybe we need a make a driver smile day!

I got a nice smile from a girl on a bike and an apology as she thought she pulled out in front of me too late, I dont mind she can do that every day I pass that junction if she wants!!!!!

I must say that both commutes were pleasant & without a dangerous incident, though one comical motorist idiot gave me something to laugh at.

loving the commute this week. Cold, crisp sunshiney mornings.. nice and bright and dry evenings.. brilliant.

I had a family in a car wind down their window while we were in traffic to ask how far I'd ridden.

"About a mile, I've just left work". They thought it was funny and it put a smile on my face that someone was interested enough to ask.

Then a couple of miles later someone stopped their car and got out to tell me that they thought my wallet had fallen out at the lights. It had and I was very grateful to the bloke in the silver Mondeo. Ta.

The sun was mostly shining, one pair of gloves, no buffs - just a cap, no overshoes and I nearly got home before the streetlights came on. A good trip.

... they thought my wallet had fallen out at the lights. It had ...

That IS lucky!

It's getting all negative on the Commuting front pages again so it's time to say I enjoyed my commute this morning and the motorists were overwhelmingly considerate and non-agressive.

Yesterday evening, the traffic light gnome was looking in my direction for a change

Such a nice evening last night that I went the long way home and turned my 6.5 mile commute into a 17 mile ride. Normally busy roads were surprising quiet.
Took a little detour through Osterly Park to get away from the hustle of city streets, a little bit of wilderness in West London.

SThe ride was only spoilt by the fact that I didn't have my water bottle with me.

Didn't forget today though and may try and up route to 20 miles

My commute this morning was great too. Got up early so roads were nice and quiet - but it was LIGHT!!! - and thus avoided the traffic snarl up that must have happened later on (one of the main roads on my route in is currently undergoing what seems to be major roadworks, with the light controls at each end and one way only through them...)

Another cyclist (shock, gasp) had a conversation with me this morning while we were cycling down Oxford Road...

Can't complain about the weather.... no bike cleaning needed... Crisp again this morning, brilliant sunshine.

Had a quadruple scalp last night.................... flew past them, and the back marker went 'wow'.............................
