This morning's commute and other commuting stories

Bike was filthy from months of neglect, so stopped in at the hand carwash on the way home. £5 for two guys to clean it all up, money well spent.

Pedestrian mistook me for Pokemon yesterday and tried to "capture" me by stepping into CS 2 cycle lane as I cycled through.I got away though.CS 3 not much fun coming back today.

Saw a guy riding a Parlee in a suit this evening

I suppose a suit for a bike would have to be specially made.

Bet it'll fucking rain.

Oh for fucks sake.

You should have left earlier, I had a lovely dry ride in.

^this

Early start and I missed the goons. Hate to say it but I like it when it's not so hot!

With a towel & a change of clothes, that was actually quite fun

Had the towel, all good. Leaving change of clothes in an area other than the shower room, not so good. Putting sopping wet gear back on to go and retrieve dry clothes elsewhere in the office is unpleasant.

Super fun ride in. Just enough water to wash yesterday's hordes of nodders off the roads, but dry enough to still be safe enough to give it some beans on the straights.

Not looking forward to putting my wet kit back on this evening. I miss my last office, which had a dedicated drying room for cyclists and runners to hang their kit...

You should have left earlier

Your mum should have left earlier

"should of"

Never.

Putting of next to should without a comma to keep them apart is like putting your wet cock in a toaster.

Fact.

An comma.

You're mum is an comma

"Putting have necks too"

Those without mudguards can fuck off

@haveo take note

Joined the Southwark Bike Train from Peckham Rye to Blackfriars to scout out the new route I'll be cycling as of next week (finishing phd and joining the 'real world'). Was a pleasure to go all the way through parks and quiet roads while having a chat. A brilliant scheme to get people on bikes.

Huh, I did this this morning except with the towel - same consequences.

You should have left earlier, I had a lovely dry ride in.

Should have left later, I had a dry ride and a lie in.

Some guy on a hybrid seemed determined to get past me regardless of what was ahead. Cue him passing me inside and out only to have to stop when the bus/car ahead/oncoming traffic made it impossible to continue. As I sailed past on a clear bit of road I suggested he might want to be a bit more patient.

His retort? "Where's your helmet?". And then RLJ.

Slow clap.

Was he wearing an overly insulated hivis jacket and no lights?

The above should have been a reply to you.
