Part of it is being really busy at medical school, having two small kids, a wife working stupid hours, and recently working as a Paramedic where I saw some pretty horrific stuff that happened to cyclists.
Well, you certainly have your busy-ness sorted! I suppose one way of looking at cycling is that it'll help you keep up your fitness so you can do so much. Distressing experiences are, of course, inevitable if working in medicine.
You can always improve your own riding by taking some cycle training and understanding the nature of risk and traffic better, if you haven't already. Very relevant to medical practice.
Good to hear you were able to make use of the weather, just staying in studying when you really need to get out can be counter-productive!
Thanks for the forgiveness. Good conversation @Oliver Schick I could relate to much of what was said and took on board some good suggestions.

Anyway I had a much better ride yesterday in the sun: 20 mile loop through London taking in salt beef at Alpino's, kleiner brauner at Kipferl, and beers at McGlynn's in Kings X and Brewdog in Clapham Junction. Just hope the wife doesn't read this as I was supposed to be studying!
