This morning's commute and other commuting stories

I love that particular sort of cunt who, despite nearly killing you, thinks that you swearing at them is far, far worse.

I get that a lot because I'm such a fucking potty mouth, these cunts that have almost sent me to hospital or whatever, take issue with me calling them names. "Are you fucking kidding cunt, you just drove into me with a tonne of steel, I'll rip your fucking head off, that'll stop you being offended you prick". If they don't have a cry because I'm swearing it's because it's some rude boy cunt who'll instead want to fight about it. They never seem to want to get out of their cars and fight about it though so I'm not sure what they have in mind. Cunts.

Don't baulk at the chance.

Good punning, fellas, but I think that one wins.

did the long ride home again last night, 50 odd miles over ranmore common and box hill, slow as fuck but the scenery more than makes up for it.
May even try doing it more than once a week in the coming months.
Will do again.

Today I am mostly training, grabbing copies of timeout and not reading my kindle...

I had a guy swerve into a bike lane to try and hit me when I was cycling with my girlfriend. I told him to go fuck himself and that I was going to report him to the police.

His main issue became that I had swore at him.

Driver "But why you say fuck you"
"Because fuck you thats why fuck you, you just tried to drive your car into me"

Cunts indeed.

If there was ever a reason for swearing, it's when some cunt almost kills you.

I almost felt the need to advise a Lycra clad super commuter this morning as to why white bibs were perhaps not working in his favor.

Sounds like one hell of a commute. Also, Ranmore Common has some fucking ace offroad trails I love lots...

Guy on a singlespeed cycling too close to my rear wheel claimed i cut him off. Then cycled along side me swearing at me and calling me a cunt. I was treated better by cabs than cyclists today

Did you ask him who killed his goldfish?

Oh give it a rest

Could you video the rematch?

Then we could....

i just stick to the one road running straight through it, did see a couple of full suspension types pulling out from a trail though...

Switched ratios from 50x16 to 50x17 because I'm sick of mashing hills.
Felt slower and spinny, turned out to be my fastest commute ever #Spin2Win

Commute home had a bit of everything last night, a mugging, a guy trying to kill him and his son, then a lady trying to kill herself, her son and dog.

Don't understand if you have your child on the bike with you why trying filtering and squeezing through tiny gaps and taking big risk just to get ahead.

Got training today, so got the train in, not going to miss riding back in the wind and rain.

At the end of a pretty boring commute, I had a guy on a Vespa-like moped slow down to give me a tow, on a - relatively - clear road. He was pointing out potholes and even providing behind the back signals.

Never had that before. Probably not the safest...

Not the safest, but awesome. Motorpaced commutes ftw!

Love drafting scooters. Got a lovely tow off a fat chap on a scooter along Lea Bridge Road yesterday afternoon. Never had one throwing cyclist gang signs though :(

Was riding near taxi this morning from Greenwich to Bermondsey, when he pulled up alongside me and I thought "here we go..." only for him to call out his window, "I've been watching you all this way, you're a really good rider!" Had a quick little conversation with him saying it was sad he had to say that, because it clearly means there's some fucking idiot cyclists around, haha

Caught a story on BBC news this morning that today is heathrow's busiest day of the year...Left for work and agreed with Louise & Bill (Bill cunting Turnball)

It was dead, not a soul on the road...20km > 43mins

Came in by tube. It was fucking rammed. Why aren't any of those fuckers on their holidays?

Train
McDs
DLR

Got a seat in all three, pleasure of starting after the Rush has passed.

"Do you want to repeat what you said?".

Cos if you do that gives me the excuse to punch you....is pretty much how it goes.

Wet bum, cold fingers, July?
