1. Altura winter cruisers keep your legs adequately warm and dry in sleet on the A23.
2. Don't try to pass a stationary bus in a narrow road when there's a Chelsea tractor behind you and something coming the other way. Pulling in behind the bus and letting the cars shout it out is more fun.
3. It is still bloody cold.
4. Baseball caps make excellent helmet liners in sleet.
5. Straight bars on the Specialised Sirrus are about 3/4 of an inch too wide each side.
6. You are a bike. You can ignore "Road closed" signs. You can also enjoy the way that cars who ignore the sign have to do a U turn when they get the "closed" bit. The Germans have a word for it - Schadenfreude...the pleasure we get from others discomfort.
7. Excuses are endless - motorists complaining about the closure of the Albert Bridge cite the Blackwall tunnel works as a reason - as if they were going to detour that way!
