Yesterday, some super polite guy on a nice geared bob jackson in purple, lovely vintage thing, just past the oval cricket ground, up towards vauxhall, where it goes all one way and six lanes wide. Why do I think he was polite? He pulled out round a bus, I was a good twenty yards back, and he thought he'd inconvenienced me, I guess, put his hand up and said sorry.
I said "that's a lovely bike you have there my good man", and he said "yours looks good too" -- which is balls, 'cos my bike is a heap of junk. Still, put a smile on my face to speak to a random cyclist, who was clearly a nice bloke, and to see such a nice bike. It was even sunny. Great commute for once.
