Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the feedback.

For a different style of edit post-Covid here's some 2022 action

some 2022 action

I am so glad I no longer commute

You can always tell those drifty cunts on their phones from a mile off. It's a fucking joke.

chanced upon a nice bit of #nogravel on the way home this evening

Thanks for posting, strangely hypnotic, it must be your arms framing the pic.

"Classic behaviour"

You missed the chance to highlight Brixton Cycles

I don't commute any more but of course the same cunt's in charge of the weather. Go out for photocopy. One page. Of course it fucks the first one and then runs out of paper and then fails to do anything else. So 2min job turns into 20min job and then tips it down when I'm half way home.
I'm going to have to hire people to do this dumb shit and go full hermit.

Huge fucking lightning and bang just now. That Weather Cunt™ must be on here.

fellow aussie?

Thanks, glad you and others enjoyed it.

The chesty mount certainly gives an interesting view which I like as you actually feel connected to the bike and/or rider.

Unlike say a bar mounted cam which is nice and steady but doesn't feel as good as above.

The absolute worst is the helmet mount especially where someone is swinging their head around a lot and doesn't edit that out as it gives me a headache.

I've done loads of commuting vids over the years. Shout if you want more

Apart from the handsome face and great body*, we look very similar. Long, lost brother? #anotherfuckinghemsworth

*I have tried to look after these assets, not sure why he let himself go

Southwark was this week's bridge of choice for the way in. Wasn't too bad, think I'd want to change the approach from the south side slightly but it was mostly fine. The north side route choice didn't feel ideal but some tweaking may make that nicer too.

Sitbones/underbutt finally stopped complaining.

Now it is just me complaining :P

The usual "professional drivers/cyclists" being annoying and for some reason every commute somebody has to go "yeooooo" or whatever at me.

Lads, if a woman wearing leggings and a loose cycling jacket is THAT interesting, have a word with yourself.

worked a bit late so decided to treat myself to a chilled ride home through woods to take in the dappled light and long shadows as the sun went down.
unfortunately an arrowhead shaped piece of flint decided that it wasn't meant to be.

support vehicle called, new tyre ordered.

I've been commuting by overground/DLR this week to make more time for some reading I have to do for work. Absolutely miserable, how does anyone do that every day?

Expensive as well...

I took the Cross Rail yesterday, absolutely brilliant.

what a beauty!

cheers!

not quite as beautiful a commute this morning as an SUV driver decided to make her own lane around the outside of a roundabout in the hatched area in order to undertake stationary vehicles, obviously not expecting to see a cyclist patiently waiting until it was safe to proceed.

at least she apologized, at least i think that's what she meant after i flipped her the bird and she shouted, "I'm in a car you TWAT!!!"

yes.
so you are.
congratulations.
perhaps you should learn how to drive it in a slightly less offensive manner?

I hope you followed them home and set them on fire, after punching her in the cock, of course.

no.
i must stay stay zen.
i have been more tempted recently to get a camera though.

get a camera

I should probably ditch my cheapie Apeman front one. I don't commute any more so don't bother with front camera, just the Cycliq Fly6 rear when I'm riding around town.

Glad I braved the rain and not the tube this morning...

Hey, driver of the white panel Vauxhall estate car for nearly killing me this evening
Here’s wishing you die of bowel cancer you worthless fucking cunt
Oh, anyone around the Wallingford area out towards Ipsden, watch your back, this cunt absolutely will kill someone

Sorry for the sweary post
