I'm finding summoning up the energy required to negotiate traffic demoralising
Fuck me, so much of this! Biggest reason I dont cycle as much as I used to is the cunts in cars. I cant remember last time when I cycled on Layhams and a cunt didnt pass too close.
I started doing 'laps' of Crooms Hill since they put a modal filter in there but even at school times that road has impatient driving cunts.
Cunts all of them.
Stop fucking driving everywhere you cunts!!!

I tend to ride Gates Green> Nash Lane> Layhams because of this. Not foolproof but slightly better I reckon. Also, close passes are cool because cycling is an exTreMe sport.

I won't go up Layhams on a weekday morning now. My default loop is Gates Green, Jackass, through Downe via Berry's Green and Buckhurst to Shampan, then Biggin Hill. Or Featherbed and just grin and bear Layhams coming home, at least you're downhill and going quicker than cars.
Shire Lane is also awful even at 6:30am. WHERE THE FUCK IS EVERYONE GOING

What turned out to be a BMW M 3 series this very early morning stayed beyond me on a longish straight with 30km speed limit even after the oncoming traffic had passed until I and the car took a left at the T junction, after which he overtook me, all very considerate. But then the Home Counties are now missing on my rides.

So much this. I actually feel a bit silly for not making more of riding during lockdown #1 when the traffic was non-existant. I think I just took it for granted!
