• Second full day back at work after 6 weeks off. I hate the tube again and remember why I'd rather cycle rain hail or shine to get to work. Time to try and get my arm to start working a bit better so i can get back on my bike!

  • I am in a similar sitch. But I'm not working til next week, thankfully! Just had an elbow op and hoping I'll have the strength to ride to my new contract every day from the off.

    As regards the @Sharkstar incident, sorry to hear you got into a proper slanging over what you might call a minor disagreement. It can be really upsetting to be assaulted in this way. IME suburban riders do drive with less tolerance than modern inner London drivers in the main.

    It should be added that whatever rules, or right and wrongs, in cases where priority is marginal, ALL motor drivers should err on the side of caution around non-motorised travellers. 'Sail before steam' is a nice sea-going metaphor that MUST become the norm here as it is in NL and DK.

    Bless you all out there, whether on a horse or skateboard or handbike or whatever ... approaching every interaction with a smile and a wave, and giving loud pre-emptive thanks with a kind of chilled-out assertiveness, is really worth trying if you haven't yet.
