Well, since schools and uni's have been back the commute to work has been a pain, due to the increase in traffic and particularly stupid riders. What's the go with these stupid numpty's trying to race you down hill at every chance. i move fairly well on the flat, through traffic or even up hills; passing lots of riders. but everytime i reach something like regents park i hear the furious thumb shifting of gears and whoosh of fluoro clad middle aged balding man pumping his pale white legs with his knees and feet splayed like a duck. of course i tack on the back (although funny atm with 44:16 and fly past on the flat. but what's the go????
Anyway, decided to leave a little bit earlier today ie 7.30, fark, what a difference fewer numpty's and less traffic. no more sleeping in :(
