This morning's commute and other commuting stories

Yesterdays ride home was pretty grim.

• mamil muppet on shitty hybrid with what sounded like studded tires, furiously nodding away jumping reds.
  
• unattentive mother babbling on her phone while her 2-3 year old daughter wandered along the cycle path, nearly getting run over by aforementioned mupped
  
• downed rider laying in a big junction, obviously hit by a car. She/he was being cared for, so I rode along.
