This morning's commute and other commuting stories

You didn't write porteur >>>>>>>>>>>

Was thinking the same, probably due to high level of congestion in Richmond.

I'm riding slowly due to the high level of congestion in my sinuses and lungs.

@mattired

"light drizzle" my ass

Is that an invitation?

Cold, Wet.
Also headache / neck tension that made every bump and pothole send a jolt of pain through my head.
2/10, today can >>>>>>>

Just you.

I'm disgusted & hungry at the same time.

I was thinking about doing a "pottering on the porteur" line but decided against it, sometimes less is more...

Had my first puncture in 4 months. Brown glass shards in the middle of the gatorskin. Other than that, nice ride in and loving this weather.

^Racist.

Frosty in Glasgow this morning and it was back by the time I was heading home (or it never thawed). Wrapped up in warm gloves and Buff. 8/10 Would skid again.

Fast ride in, it was dry, ride back, one taxi let me in, the next turned on me to get onto Southwark bridge with no indicator. Cunt !!!

yeah, it happens more than it should, the indicator thing. that said most cyclists i see dont indicate at all.

Bit wet this morning. Tried to rush through it so arrived both soggy and sweaty...
4/10

.,

Not too many cars or riders this morning , nice and crisp. Bit of wind and for that reason 8/10

Painscale- 8/10
Traffic nuisance (I left a full hour later than I like to- oops). 9/10
Riding the Talbot 10/10
The sheer breathtaking beauty of the sunrise from the top of Stanley Moor- 10/10

On balance 7/10. Could improve.

Its a potential 1/2 day for me so I may get to ride in full daylight for a change.

Have been taking it a lot slower then normal due to a little niggle in my neck. Why can't some people just check over their shoulder before making a move or indicate simple things and for f*ks sake people get lights and lights that work. Almost clotheslined someone last night on Kennighton Rd, check over my shoulder nothing that I could see indicated to move lands next thing I get told to fucking watch it by a speed ninja, all in black no lights.

Think it's because I'm full of cold and have a bad neck that I'm tetchy, got told I shouldn't be on the road in the dark....to which I replied is that because I don't pay road tax which shut the bloke up.
8/10 for the ride
2/5 for my health

Is there a new 50mph speed limit in place around Regents Park for Audis and Range Rover Sports?

Is there no speed limit at all for Audis and Range Rover Sports?

ftfy

Careful - They're easily startled, but will soon be back, and in greater numbers.
