This morning's commute and other commuting stories

Yeah for half terms and roads free of school traffic! one week of bliss, must make the best of it...

As noted above, unusual headwind this morning.

Keeping my eye on the flags that I can see out of my office window, hoping for a homeward tailwind.

Not just window-gazing. Honest, boss.

Also, my drive train needs a bit of TLC. Squeaky.

Didn't notice a tailwind in the way home but strava tells me it was the fastest return commute yet. Must have been all the weekend junk food

I'm a confirmed fat tyre scoble convert. Had an argument with a cyclist. Water bottle froze. 9/10.

What a lovely morning nice and toasty apart from my fingers. Very quite roads lots of green lights. Lovely view going over London Bridge.

Changed it for you.

pretty much every post you make in this thread:

Fucking freezing, dogshit

Must have been all the weekend junk food...are you a nutritionist? Can I book an appointment?

Beautiful weather. Love it.

Drivers in ASLs everywhere.

Didn't matter - too busy enjoying the view.

+1 for a wonderfully crisp cycle in

Perfectly layered. No one on the road. No headwind. Bright sunshine. Endless hot water in the company provided showers. 10/10

Top ride, no head wind
Nearly took down a tourist as she stepped into the road withoutlooking
Almost every light on green and those that weren't managed to do nice smooth trackstands at - bonus hipster points - whilst listening to a mix of soul and funk putting me in a great mood for today

Shoutout to everyone who walked out, glued to their phones....you da real MVP's

Left at 6am, not enough layers, two pairs of gloves, frozen fingers. However got to work in record time
7/10

Just the right amount of clothes on, cold and crisp but a little too late to avoid all the traffic. Tried a new route which shit me off a bit, but all good.

Oh and beard icicles!

Don't remember commute.

MY shower in use. Have set alarm earlier.

Oh, wait, you reminded me. Notting Hill some fauxdie attempts trackstand and is fully rolled into the middle of the junction so has to abort and roll through the rest of the red to the island. UNI something on red knicks riding a Boardman. Then got smoked by the bloke behind who had waited patiently at the stop line.

Got it right - I've been trying 3 layers for weeks and always too warm. Today? Perfect! Love merino.

CONS:
Was supposed to be at bike shop to drop off bike at 7. Woke up at 7:15.

PROS:
Remembered packed lunch.

forgot my bastard iPad at home. 10.30am toilet break is going to be interesting.

might have to talk to people...

Overcast commute today.

A wise man I spotted decided to ditch the hi-vis clothing and just buy a bike in hi-vis paint. (a fluoro greenish tone) And why not?

Had to walk on kerb to get to ASL cos no way I was going to squeeze between two lorries. Dumb ways to die >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Dumb ways to die

Oh great, now that's stuck in my head. Thanks.

Happy to give out my knowledge for free.
