Normally ride home after 8pm but hit peak time today. Lethal cocktail of being stuck in huge promuter peloton, families on holiday, tourists on Boris bikes (they weren't doing anything wrong - we are just going too fast), busy traffic, busy zebra crossings, roadworks, and fucking e-bikes, which can fuck off. Saw one fall. I'm not a nervous rider, but did wonder if I'd get home with bike intact and just tried to chill out and be careful. Fuck commuting east to west at 6pm.
