Ride was lovely apart from two annoying moments. Cruising at a leisurely 46:18 type pace, enjoying the serenity of silence riding fixed brings some sweaty mamil decides to sit on my back wheel coasting with THE LOUDEST FREEWHEEL. I do the slow down and down and down willing him to overtake me....Nope. Am forced to accelerate hard to drop him for a wee while before letting him go first at the next set of lights. Tool.
Then, National Express coach nob head does the most protracted slow mo left hook I've ever experienced going along embankment. Managed to call him out on it politely at the lights he got caught at. Didn't seem impressed with me not swearing at him. I think he wanted more aggro.
Didn't let it bother me too much. Enjoying the dryness of Autumn so far. Nice commutes and the leaves go even nicer colours when it doesn't rain.
