This morning's commute and other commuting stories

Not really. They're easy enough to overtake and not causing any harm. Like people on bikes, f'rinstance.

Wasn't annoying, they were fucking old. Just amusing how slow they were going and how oblivious. They're probably still out there now...

A trio of school-aged kids on their BMX/Halford's mountain bikes mixing it with the City commuters on Southwark Bridge Road the other night - wheelies and everything.

Irritating the fuck out of the drivers trying to overtake with some remarkably assertive use of primary position.

10/10 I believe children are the future.

good on 'em.

Absolutely

mini bikestormz, innit

Part of me always kind of wants to join in. Except I can't wheelie.

Apparently it's all about this

Great article.

Different commute for me today. Off to Edinburgh on Cotic SS. Aiming for my buddy's Fringe Performance, The Sorries, on Saturday night. Wish me luck.

Busy ride in from Surbo. Many dodging the SWT/Waterloo mess. Lots of old bikes released from the shed, given some love and set loose on the road. Wonderful!

Wow - good luck! (assuming you are going from London not Leith)

Odd, I was expecting the same coming up CS7 from Morden, but it was particularly quiet (albeit 7:30ish).

Thermal bibshorts, so much for August weather.

If you are going from Leith... good luck.

Summer holidays and the roads are empty. I think more people than normal are WFH or taking extra holiday because of the Waterloo works so even fewer on the roads. Lovely.

Delighted to see an AA instructor texting while driving on Jamaica Road just now.

Lead by example.

perfect morning for a lovely ride in - but i got up feeling sick so took the car - dam those germs!

Amazing ride in; nice cool breeze and so few people about. I didn't think I could make my commute any faster until I switched up to some SPD pedals on my single speed yesterday. I do not think I will ever go back to using my heavy ass 10 speed now.
