What a lovely morning it is, the sun is shining, the birds are singing, I'm pretty sure I saw Cliff Richard helping up a Granny it's that lovely.
BUT I think I've discovered the most irritating thing in cycling to work every day, worse than plastic bags wrapped around rear hubs, worse than buses parked so close to the curb you cant get past them..
Sitting at red lights, and a host of (geared) neon fools pull up past me and assemble in front of me, only to pedal along at a snails pace, with the occasional freewheel, once we're in heavy traffic and I can't get past. Same thing happens a lot with people jumping reds then pottering along - if you're not in a hurry why cut in front of other people?
