This morning's commute and other commuting stories

I went over the wrong bridge.

At least you did not enter the wrong tunnel.

plus it does look a little silly.

Really? So, if a kid runs out into the road you'd rather keep going than stop, just in case someone is drafting you?

do a (s)kid!

Now then, now then

pretending to be a car?

I suppose I'm being a bit gun-ho, all scenarios are different, but I did manage to stop.
I had just peeled off of Parliament Sq onto Whitehall, you know the slightly blind corner with the traffic lights that have the extension for oncoming before the corner so traffic doesn't get a surprise red light when on the corner? I was in prime, no traffic ahead of me but with all of the 8.45 rush hour traffic in tow. The scariest thing is that when I came to after being on the floor for quite a while, the cyclist was ahead of me, face down, not really moving, but two yeards behind me was a van. That's what really shit me up, that could have been my last commute in forever. It was a big wipe out, Parliament Sq was a stand still for about half an hour.

No your silly, you need to read it again carefully.

Do you wear arm warmers but not knee warmers?

I wear knee warmers but not arm warmers. Sometimes even on the bike

Nice and quiet ride in today, didn't see another cyclist for the 1st 11miles of the commute. Last 9 miles was only lightly sprinkled too. Whahey!

Lovely ride as the mist burned off up the Rivelin Valley and along the A57 to Moscar Top. Headstone looking quite emotive in the half-light and some interesting glimpses of Lose Hill and Kinder. Cracking descent back into town cut short when I hit traffic. A guy on a motorbike got a bit moody as I was followed him overtaking long lines of traffic and told me to get ahead. Not sure if he thought I was going to share the work. Have mapped a new route in from the edge of Sheffield to the office which should be a fair bit quieter and have less dozy students wandering out into the road.

Could do with a bit less autumn chutney on the road as a few corners were a bit tricky #seasonaladjustment

No, you're silly.

Look, lets just agree that one of us cannot read and one of us cannot write, but together we make an unstoppable crime fighting duo have a GCSE in English.

It's a running joke.

Frothy conker paste.

I just saw this. You can invent any scenario with any outcome possible if you want to in about 2 seconds, it could be Dale Winton pushing a trolley full of frozen turkeys across Elephant & Castle during rush hour, I don't care.

My point is I'm not keen on getting run over by whatever vehicle is behind me because some idiot crosses the road on a green without looking. I'm on a bicycle, I'm not in a car, if I get rear ended it's going to hurt.
