This morning's commute and other commuting stories

Where?

Not sure who that was but he was a NLTCBMBC member. It definitely wasn't @taogeogheganhart

Where did he pass you? I rode down the Walworth Road with him.

Apart from the young and fast bit that sounds like me (Jersey is the forum famous NLTCBMBC.) Was this by Brockwell Park heading towards Tulse Hill? In any case hi!

Hi to you too!

definitely you

Bristol traffic a clusterfuck of heavy vehicles today, way worse than usual due to roadworks. Had a bright spark driving a double decker try to overtake me in the two lane one way, just as I wanted to move into the right lane. Overtook me in the right lane, before signalling left and moving left as I was directly alongside him. Lights ahead were red, queue of traffic in the left lane so thankfully he saw the error of his ways and didn't try to complete his manouvre. Deeply unimpressed I filtered to the ASZ, plonked myself infront of him and turned and gave him The Look.

Twice today people tried completely unnecessary overtakes in heavy traffic or before lights, and twice I filtered past them and then blasted off and for left for dust in the queue of traffic. Deeply satisfying, hope they learned a lesson but probably not.

Hello! Nice bike.

Yeah it was between Herne and Tulse Hills!

@±ln(x) did I buy four LFGSS t-shits off you a few weeks ago? Sorry if I didn't recognise you.

But yeah - fast as fuck to my slow eyes anyway. I'm not exactly a snail and you sailed past me and out of sight faster than most super SRSLY promuters.

Aye that's me and all but I didn't realise you were you either so I think we're even in that respect.

I'm not usually remotely as quick as that and will keep my eyes open to say hello next time!

Field trip to the zoo today with 10:00am start and a lovely roll down the hill in the sun. Managed to catch the penguin feeding session and having a nose at a baby gorilla before rolling up the hill in the sunshine. 10/10

Watched owner of rival bike shop in town sweep gravel, grit and general detritus from the pavement in front of his shop into the cycle lane that runs past it. Would have called him out on it but a) I was wearing our shop kit and b) I've only worked here 6 months

Shocker last night - Briefly stuck in the goods lift at work with bike, caught up in the taxi protest traffic backing up through Covent Garden, angry goose in Burgess Park & topped off by being knocked off going up the hill to Telegraph Hill Park by someone who didn't look when pulling out of a side road. 0/10, got the train today.

Had to anchor-on this morning to avoid being swiped by an overtaking black cab who cut me up. Literally inches to spare, and I created those inches by braking. Muppet.

Mentioned this at a red light and he said SMIDSY, then got a bit aggressive when I suggested he pay more attention, reached out to touch (stroke/caress/mangle/tickle?) my hand, then warned me "not to take it any further", then said "fuck off" and drove away.

Strange man. Strange, dangerous man...

Was it Ronnie Pickering?

Was it Ronnie Pickering?

Who?

ronnie pickering

Do you know who he is?

RONNIE PICKERING!

(It doesn't get old)

RONNIE PICKERING!

Comedy is all in the timing

Bah!

Cunts. Everywhere.

Bikes ridden by cunts
Pedestrians being cunts
Drivers being cunts

Oddly I also informed two separate cars of their flat tyres in one day. That's not happened before and I'm worried it could mean the apocalypse is coming? Thoughts?
