• A page worth of tube strike related cycling stress and no one has used "strikealists" as a derogatory term. I am disappoint.

    I love me a good tube strike - but if you try and ride like you normally do you are in for trouble. Of all the days, its the one to set off 10 mins early, and ride super chilled around the carnage, taking it all in.

    Marvel at the machines dragged out of sheds/hedges and employed for this brief period as that individual's primary transport mode.
    Wonder at the clothing choices, backwards helmets and arse cracks on display
    Be amazed at the lack of road craft and perception.
    Smirk at the other regular commuter's frustrations at their presence.
    Rejoice when they return to their metal tubes.

    Ogmios school of Zen cycle commuting.

    Actually think this is a good way to approach the commute everyday.
