Terrible commute this morning. It was my first wearing my new shoes and I completely failed to set the cleats up well, and over-tightened the pedals to the point where I struggled to clip in when pulling away. Fortunately clipping out was still fine.
In a traffic queue on a steep decline in the middle of High Wycombe (next to the station) some shithead in a Rover decided to shunt into the back of me. Stayed upright, all fine, but it set the mood.
When I arrived at work it came to attention that my good friend from work was behind me. In a similar situation to @Jimmy_Fingers Just as we're pulling towards our LHS junction, he overtakes, then stops(!) to let the lorry who's waiting on the other side cross and pull into the junction. Firm words were had in the car-park. Fucking idiot.

I was so excited about my new shoes.
