I retired in June 2023 and the only thing I miss about not working any more is the cycle-commute. So when my main riding buddy mentioned that he wanted to start commuting again I offered to join him to remind him of the route and ensure he made it in safely on day 1.
Not a lot more to report other than cycle-commuting is much more relaxed in the summer and when you don't have a deadline to get into the office. He didn't even want to leave particularly early and we didn't leave my place until 08:15 and took a leisuely ride along CS7 with the cycle commuters and cars deep into August-holiday low volumes.
A coffee in Canary Wharf with another riding buddy before taking the long route home made for a satisfying ride.
A few pics for illustrative purposes.
