My commute has changed, now the company has moved into the centre of Bristol. No more riding down empty cycle paths and little lanes to Avonmouth, now I have to cycle from Bristol Parkway to pretty much dead centre. Due to a cold I have been lazy and doing the short hop from Temple Meads but I want moar miles. Anyone know of the best route from Parkway? there seems to be some decent bike paths, like the one running alongide the river Froome?
Apart from that urban cycling largely sucks, I was stopped by red lights three times around a roundabout. Three frickin' times. Also had to slap a bus and Range Rover for sketchy overtakes then cutting back across me to get behind the stationary queues of traffic immediately ahead of us. The Range Rover indeed overtook me as we both arrived behind the back-end of a stationary lorry, I punched his vehicle before cutting to the right slowly and out around the lorry. Bizarre actions, but I think a punichement for me filtering past and getting in front of him at the previous traffic lights. I wonder if drivers will ever realise in traffic in a built up area a bike will always beat you.
