This morning's commute and other commuting stories

@Antidotes yeah but... from 1:37.

Salmon style haha! Long time no see mate, hopefully I'll bump into you at some point!

Lol that explains that then.

Saw 2 / 3 people on the way home about 10 mins ago riding along with no light at allllll and no reflectors or anything...

On the third one I slowed down and told this young woman that she really should get lights. She looked absolutely terrified and like she was being told off. "I know I really should. Sorry."

Didn't mean to be scary but seriously get some fucking lights they are like 69p on amazon, and your wearing black with a black bag on a main not very well lit road with busy traffic. Might just buy loads of amazon lights and throw them at people as I ride home.

Otherwise super goodz commutes lately apart from the usual people trying to kill me 7/10

Best D Lock for hitting people with thread?

Grey yes, mercier no. But if there was a porteur rack on the front it was me.

Two hours in ps gainfully employed.

Best D Lock for smashing wing mirrors with thread?

FTFY.

OG Kryptonite Evo Mini.

Stop being a moist.

Why do people complain to me when I don't wear a helmet?
mind ya own fookin business...

Yeah, it was really cold this morning.

You ride without a helmet? YOU COULD DIE!

Shit hair?

Lovely amble into work, just about made it in before it started tipping down, only had to call one bloke in a van a wanker and that was being pedantic, almost certain he didn't hear me so hopefully it didn't ruin his day either. Got undertaken by a cyclist while I was waiting behind a lorry indicating left, cyclist then obviously did the same to the lorry, poor trucker was not happy, I tried to convey "sorry on his behalf, we're not all like that" with a facial gesture but not sure it worked - 8/10

Today I learnt a new rule of the road that doesn't appear in the highway code.
Giant dumper trucks in London DON'T HAVE TO SIGNAL when they decide to use the BUS LANE.
Otherwise, a good commute.

Got the bus and had to listen to the black, male Vicky Pollard wittering away on his phone the whole way.

"HUH? SHA' AP BRAV! HUH? HAH? HMM?!?! SHA' AP!!! HAH? SHAT THE FACK AP YOUR CHATTIN SHIT. HUH?"

Him and two accomplices were clearly skiving off school. I might grass them up.

Train from Sydenham to London Bridge was rammed with people due to a broken down train and various cancelled services and and an electrical fault. Had to stand in a carriage full of people with the man next to me breathing his stinking breath in my face. Got soaked in the rain walking to the office from London Bridge, almost run over by a motorbiker doing about 60 though Tower Hill. I missed my bike this morning. 1/10

Back on the A4147 from St Albans to Hemel after some time out. Had forgotten how shit provincial drivers are. And how scary it is when Audi drivers think they're as good as BMW drivers and so can surely fit through the same gaps. No joke - the bus and the skip lorry find space to give me more room.

Still, after months of getting fat, I wasn't as slow as I'd feared, and I've got my clothing sorting - 7/10

At least take solace in the fact you don't do that everyday, unlike the foul-breathed train wanker

late to work, wearing a ~30kg backpack full of shit, raining, no waterproof, and for some reason the pair of Edwins I bought because they were perfect in the shop now don't fit me at all?

Not really commuting based by a very annoying thing to realise during your commute.

Great ride in this morning as traffic was chock-a-block and I was making great progress. On Muller Road (Major road) in Bristol coming down and a red Audi goes in the wrong lane for about 1/4 mile passing me and about 40 cars. Bus is coming towards him and he decides it's time to take a quick right and leave the scene. Boggles my mind sometimes.

Started raining 30 seconds after I set off.
Stopped raining 30 seconds after I arrived.

Didn't bring a spare pair of undercrackers so am sitting commando.

BUT... I did find a cracking blackhead on the back of my leg while i was in the shower.

6/10 - would squeeze again.

Hahaha superb .. 9/10
