This morning's commute and other commuting stories

??????????

I smiled

I know the guy at result No.4...

Sent him a message that he needs to up his Google stats.

For me SexaholIcs Anonymous is the top result.

Yeah, I wondered about that.

I also clicked, and that site is straight from the late 90.

Police are now accepting headcam footage as possible evidence of a 'close pass' or mobile phone usage :

Woke up to a police heli hovering overhead, found out a big stretch of Bow Road is shut due to a hit and run involving a child. Not a good start to the day.

Useful for this guy...

Minus 6 in Glasgow this morning. Cold toes and fingers even with 2 pairs of gloves and socks on.

I was on a bus that was diverted at Mile End, was wondering why. Horrible news.

The car involved didn't stop at the scene and was found abandoned by
officers nearby

I love the way all the stuff is about how he was blamed for not seeing the car coming. Admittedly, Highway Code aside it does feel as though he has a little more braking time that he makes use of, but surely the most important thing about the video is that neither the driver nor passenger sees it as important enough an incident to stop the car

Poor kid! Hope he pulls through!

@Spxtz I have re-proofer if you need some mate.

Or the new core jackets are only £100 or the Rapha sale is on...

You're such a #buyer Ally! Anyway mine says Paul Smith on the bumflap and I want to keep it that way... I took @Batt's advice and it's fine now.

Justice this morning. Cab doesn't indicate, just turns left so I ride around its arse end and this bitch slows and has a go at me for being in the middle of the road (I was probably not even in the middle of my lane let alone the two lane fucking road). I say learn the highway code and then she's yelling this and that and how I don't pay for the roads, which is a little ironic given I bought a second car literally hours ago.
Silly anal flosser then drives into my lane still crapping on about not paying for it. She's getting frisky now and aims her car at me and I'm now unclipped ready to kick her fucking car. I ride into safe gap in front of another car and everyone's now stopped in traffic. Turn around to look at her, a car back and see cop van in the right lane, level with her.
"Did you fucking see that bitch?! She just tried to drive into me?!" (I'm a bit angry normally so if I've just been defending myself against a car you can imagine my look). She says some shit about "middle of the road" to the copper and he's like "what's wrong with that" to her. I rant a bit more and the copper in the back then goes "I saw it" and gets out in the traffic to go and have words. Cop driver is nice and calm and suggests I don't delay my journey further while they deal with her (leaving my cleats and unfortunately her door intact). 30+ years of riding and finally a copper is in the right place at the right time. Lovely. Once the rage subsided I was proper punching the air. Fucking love a bit of justice. Got her plates on my shit list. It's so long now though I need my own NPR...

What exactly do you expect to do with her plates on your "shit list?" Genuine question.

I read this thread pretty often and some of you strike me as right weirdo's, I must say.

What we need a contact in the DVLA who can run ad-hoc V888 requests. Then it's rotten fish smoothies down the air-intake for all!

This thread makes you think this place is full of weirdo's? You should read the rest of the forum!

mmm fishy

Spell weirdos with an apostrophe again and you're going on the shit list.

That's what it was, by the time I got there it was all sand covered. I just presumed they were trying to make a South Bank-esque beach in New Cross.

He might be a greengrocer, it's legit if he's a greengrocer.

Nail through my tyre this morning. In at the top and out through the sidewall. Don't get how the f*ck this happens but it's not the first time.

Then remembered I only had a 25c tube in my bag and 35c tyre; fitted it in any case but #feelingsquirmy.

Rear kojak is looking a bit like Emmenthal now, might need replacing. Tempted to go to Marathon as kojak, whilst lovely, seem adept at picking stuff up.

So sad to read about the hit and run up thread - heal up kid.

There but by the grace...

Find her address and let all her tyres down?

Obviously I've never done that

wind your neck in noob!!11!!!!
