This morning's commute and other commuting stories

Every hole is my goal.

Had a fun commute home from a meeting this morning. I occasionally get what’s known as ocular migrains - basically my vision goes batshit psychedelic - and one set in about 15 mins from home. I had about half of my peripheral vision left to see with, which made for interesting cycling. Not actually had one while on a bike before.

Shitttt. I have something similar called hemiplegic migraines, never whilst cycling though must've been scary

No fair, I just get plain old debilitating migraines which cause my neck to seize up, cant handle any form of light, and makes me bedridden for how ever long it chooses to hang around for.

Think we've turned it into a game of migraine trumps

Do I need to bring out my brain surgery photos?

Too late.

Where's the one with the Vegemite in it?

Wasn’t too bad as it was from bath to Bristol, which is pretty much zero cars. I had it when driving once, with my then 2 year old in the back. Had to just pull over and wait for half an hour or so till i could see.

Do not envy people with real migranes. Or migrants, as autocorrect wanted me to type.
Or brain surgery - unless they unlocked previous inaccessible super powers, which I understand rarely happens.

I still win. Its 100% genuine, honest.

What is that big fat lump at the top/side of your head? Why is your brain hollow?

That's where the drill/saw/grinder went in. Best haircut I ever had.
It's not hollow, it's filled with beer and porn, rookie.

Ah what do you ride/what time do you pass through that junction?

Lovely ride in to work today. Perfect conditions. No material arseholery from my fellow man. 9/10.

Even ride home was 7/10 at least. Joy

8:30-9 depending on how early I persuade myself to wake up

Windy af here, out and home :(

Glad I didn't cycle this evening

My commute is currently shit (only a mile), but at least I get to play with bicycles all day and hang out with DJ and Dansky. /trainingtobeagreasemonkey

I'm the balding fattish one. Oh wait...

But despite having the shortest commute is always last to arrive

In London I used to hate fuckers walking around with golf umbrellas.
Here they fucking ride with them. FFS

I'm about to pass one of those cargobike/kiddie carrier bikes and some douchebag Uber driver decides to pass over the top of me. Hearing him going for it I quit the pass but in his hurry to squeeze by, he drives into the pedestrian crossing island and crunches his car. A hubcap definitely came off as I saw it clatter to the ground. Karma motherfucker!

First time I've cycled in for rush hour in ages and forgot what a mess of cyclists there is at that time, people getting real impatient down the embankment cycle lanes

That's a cool pic / gif to have!

Hopefully he decides not to pass next time, rather than deciding to just stay further left and crunch a cyclist instead of his car
