This morning's commute and other commuting stories

Christ. Are you ok?

Fuck, did you get plates. That shit needs prosecution.

Jesus, what a bunch of cunts. I'd imagine there is a fair amount of cctv there?

While waiting a the lights had a driver get out of his car and fling a snowball at me as his passenger filmed it, got threatened with driver going to the boot, took a photo of the car then a bit after got chased along the strand by a driver and passenger(on foot) pushed off bike and punched a few times, bike kicked a few times so have to true a wheel back. Ruined my nice day out at the Tate.

What the actual fuck?

oops not @ jakemcree, fat fingers

@Clockwise

What do you mean by

got threatened with driver going to the boot

Did they suggest they were going to get a weapon?

How on earth does this shit happen?!

In the Strand, too--not where you'd expect it.

Hope you're not too shaken up and the police get on top of it.

Doing ok just glad it was very badly thrown punches and I've not ended up stabbed, had acid chucked at me or run over.

It just reminds me of growing up on estates.

Fuck, hope you're ok dude. Sounds like an attempt at one of those "prank" videos that stupid cunts make for YouTube.

took a photo of the car

Plates? Reported to police for assault yet?

Yessum.

Serious ice rink over railway line from Nunhead towards and down into Crofton Park.
Had to get off and walk for a good few hundred yards.
Avoid avoid avoid.

Plus 2 (two!) of my lights died on the way home, so was doubly scared for my life. Must've been the temperature?!

On my commute home last night (Canary Wharf - Dalsnewington) it was mostly fine but Bradstock Road between Well St Common and Homerton seemed to have ice on it, I got off and pushed for a bit too be safe. Also ice/snow all over the path across Well St Common, but the path across Hackney Downs was totally fine. Some of the back roads in Stokey a bit dodgy too.

Not sure what things will be like this morning after another sub zero night, any intel from early commuters appreciated.

I think I'll be swapping to Schwalbe Marathon Plus studded tyres for the commute tomorrow.

I wish I had a snowy commute ride to do today. It looks amazing out there.

If school closes it'll be mashton's negligent nursery* as all my friends beg for child care.

** OFSTED rating: HTFU.

Could tell cyclist to use the road instead?

Heading over to feltham, not that worried as I’ll be on the main roads, Wandsworth Road, upper Richmond road, Staines road, which should all be gritted, and have traffic on them, but unsure about tonight but we’ll see..
Winter clothes ahoy..

Jumped out of bed like a kid on Christmas day, couldn't wait for an excuse to commute on this.

Snowy ride in this morning, a few slips but nice anyway.

Far too much fun. About 50% longer than usual, but the bike is an absolute tank.

Drivers can be quite nice when they're forced by the conditions to drive slowly.

Schwalbe Winter studded tyres rock.

Loving the snowy commute pictures

The camaraderie on the roads this morning was great too - smiles all round.

Jealous... was asked to get the bus :/

Obligatory snow photo.
Main roads from Catford to Canary Wharf in great slushy condition.
