This morning's commute and other commuting stories

Goes down to one lane at the northbound side.

Only for the next three years.

Ldn brj will be fun when Tower Bridge closes

This!

Genuinely thinking of taking an alternate route for that time.

Southwark Bridge is another possibility. All that sweet segregated goodness.

I also saw disc/visor man riding v. slowly last night

One of the largest coaches I've ever seen trundling up Kennington Park Road this morning - testing people's reactions at one point by looking like he wanted to move into the bus lane and moving suddenly left.

All the fun of the fair out there today...

Saw the reason @chainbreaker lives in the uk today, no gunz allowed on South African beaches.

Archway Road closed this morning due to a suicide (I suspect) the cycling was almost beyond belief. It seems 5 mile traffic jams give cyclists cart blanche to behave like they left half their brains on the pillow.
Shocking stuff. And drivers, if you are in a traffic jam that clearly is not going anywhere for the next 6 hours, why not turn the radio on, educate yourself, turn the car round go home and fucking leave it there instead of adding to the pollution and mayhem? Cunts!

Midland Rd crossing Euston Road this morning. Chastised for being 1ft into ped crossing because I wasn't alongside a lorry turning left (I was going straight). Was I in the wrong, or was that guy just a dick?

According to the rules? You were in the wrong.

However I reckon anything you can reasonably do to be safe without endangering others is fair game.

Sure, I accept that.

In my defence, there's not much room for cyclists there at all, especially given that it's at the end of a CSH, so can't help but feel as though I need to adopt a do or die (literally) mentality.

Oh well. Will set the 'Days Since Road Rage Argument' counter back to 0.

called out a pair of full speed, pavement riding cunts who shat up an elderly couple on kennington road this morning. Then got told to 'chill the fuck out' by a passing belm on a beige fucking langster. if you're on here, you can get fucked and all.

Surrey Canal Path (Peckham Pulse to Burgess Park) has been rammed every morning this week and there has been a lot of piss-poor riding.
Tuesday I heard what sounded a nasty bike v bike crash behind me.
Today some twat tried to overtake me at speed as I pulled right to cycle past a father walking his two young kids to school. I didn't shoulder check before I pulled out - which was wrong - but it should have been obvious I was going to as the only other option would be to plough into them.

I get why a few cyclists want to use that stretch as a racetrack but it isn't.
I wouldn't want to walk my young uns along there in the morning.

being told to calm down/chill out is probably the best thing in the world to say to me if you want to make me go from a mild rage to apoplectic ranty incoherence. when has it ever had the intended effect on a situation?

when has it ever had the intended effect on a situation?

Depends if the intended effect matches the literal meaning.

I find Adding Mate onto the end of "Calm down" increases any rage more than adding cunt onto the end.

Knob passenger in white van...his driver U turns v fast and brakes hard to avoid hitting me. I brake....stay on the pedals and cruise very slowly around to the front of the van - shaking my head and the conversation with said passenger goes....
Him..What's your problem mate?
Me - from about 5 metres away - Wha?
Him....What's your fucking problem.
Me turning my head thru almost 180 to respond...Wha?
Him - shaking his pointy fist at me...What's your problem you prick?
Me...pushing back to the open window and holding a cupped hand to my ear (we are at red lights now)...Wha?
Him...What the fuck is your problem?
Me..I'm a bit deaf mate.
He is now the colour of the lights! His driver mate is pissing himself. I swear if the lights hadn't gone to green he would have jumped out....but I was off and away and put many cars between me and him.
Ah - so satisfying to stay calm and watch rage emerge!
