This morning's commute and other commuting stories

Yep, loads... Went straight thru it all.

There should be a rule that if a ped walks out in front you, you can steal any pastries from their hands.

Can't you just choux them out of the way?

Does anyone ever see those mini-sweepers on the segregated tracks? I saw a bunch if glass in one yesterday, cant remember which, and wondered if they're being swept much.

I encountered that last week going home - the wait was unbelievable....not a sense of impatience by the driver(s)
behind me...

Can't you just choux them out of the way?

Only if they're croissant the road.

We could try tell them off but they would just waffle on about how cyclists are the devil.

Everyone was outwardly calm, only a couple of people deciding to ride off around the footpath. I was just hiding my inner rage.

In fairness, it is right next to a primary school so I agree with peds having more opportunities and time to cross.

^^^ Can't you just try to pass them?

apparently those road works are going to be there until March next year...

Ugh. Re-route

I second this

It's gonna be there for a while, part of the new Quietway to Crystal P: http://www.cpneighbours.org/highway-news/

Saw one going down the one in Hyde Park. I think it was a Royal parks one though rather than a City of Westminster Council one.

Saw someone on a bike get their phone nicked this morning.

He was using it at a red light on the TCR/Goodge St junction when two yoots on a scooter stopped next to him, snatched it and went through the red light. No numberplate, blacked out visors.

I was on my motorbike and could definitely have caught up with them but wasn't willing to go through a couple of reds and put myself in danger for a mobile phone...

especially one that isn't yours.

Shoulda just shouted 'ryan, I'm telling yer mum'. 70% chance there I reckon .

Did some quiet streets today on way to bank, predicted the future twice and then saw the shmuck in the bank we were both heading to.
She dint see me in there either...

Edit, shit at replying ment the dude above not greenhell

The guy on the small bike who rides away at the start - his tyre exploded.

Saw a HGV going through bank junction at lunchtime today, followed by lots of cars.

Clearly the signs and fines aren't working perfectly yet.

Sorry. I mean The bank, Natwest in this case. I live in Leeds

Clearly the signs and fines aren't working

Can't see signs when texting.

I got green lights from Tottenham Court Rd to Shoreditch high Street. I don't think I've ever had it happen to me before.

In here:)

Oxford St leccy cable explosion from last week?

Nearly doored this morning.

Passenger tried to jump out of a black cab straight into the bike lane.

At least he was comically apologetic, cabby wasn't....

Happy #CycleToWorkDay everyone!
