That. Was. Grim.

bodieanddoyle outside my office in Kensington... I bottled it today, and seeing the state B&D was in, I think I made the right choice... Fuck that for a laugh...

Spotted no-one as, like chain breaker, I too flip the peak down and shut my eyes in this weather.

Annoyingly, I remembered to bring dry socks to change into but not spare kecks. Despite spending some time in the changing room with a hairdryer blowing on my crotch I am still decidedly damp about the top of the thighs. *squelch

As you well know, stb, commuting is strictly recovery, and I have no desire to arrive at work all flustered and shit. How you mock the zen art of the purist recovery ride, as demonstrated by the likes of claus and myself. How you regret that mockery as we dance away from the furthest reaches of your Exposure Joystick every other Tuesday night.

The words of the great Von Claus continually reverberate through my vertebrate during the majority of my weekly outings to and from work. Really they do. Oh, and I mostly cycle on Wednesdays now ; p

Ouchy, poor ol' stb... ;]

S'ok. They talking loud, but sayin' nuttin'.

Oh, and this morning spotted a whole EU carpark load of motorists going precisely nowhere on the whole run into work. Water evaporates, Suckers!

Sparky from Manchester? On City Road late Friday night. Said 'do a skid' then reolized I had met you and said hello. I was on foot.

Go commando. It makes hallway chats with management more interesting...

Does anybody look where they're going when it's raining?

Never trust your vision when riding in London whatever the weather, far too much going on, you just get sensory overload. Stay safe, keep eyes firmly shut, ride by sense of smell.

Oh, and also Owenhalfavagreed on Saturday waiting to cross holloway road. I gave you the finger. Cock.

naturally a lot of people in cars driving like twats because it's raining.
no idea how it really affects them considering roof/wipers.
also saw josh le libre again but didn't dare shout as he was in front of me in a peleton most of the way and the rest of the cyclists didn't look like they were enjoying the ride enough to put up with some gobshite shouting 'josh! josh!'

a drowned rat.

when i got home this lunchtime and looked in the mirror.

Was thinking just the same, the motorists behave as if they're trying not to get their vehicles too wet as if it's part of their body.

what?

I think he means:
People driving fast because the car is the extension of them and they don't want to get it wet.

Lovely Hops on the OKR this morning... no polo train im afraid.xxx
And 2 guys on the way back home one on a single speed mountain bike and one on a fixie (could have been a 14 bike) looked like you guys were racing.

I think what actually happens is that the wet weather slows general traffic progress, so it creates more congestion which causes people to drive faster on the bits they can drive fast on out of frustration.

Notice also pedestrians becoming even more reckless in their road crossing attempts, which contributes to the general hampering of vehicular progress.

prancer (i think) on high st ken around 825-30ish by tk maxx. you heading east, me west with a bus between us. you had a look of concentration about you...

not today, that is part of my usual route

on the way in i went along the thames path up to putney and then to knightsbridge

on the way home it was a trip to putney cycles followed by roehampton and then to kew

ah ok, you have a Doppelgänger then, it was a breif glance tho,

Nice chap on a silver bike wearing blue jacket. Two up TT down OKR to Elephant and castle where we shared a brief chat. Anyone??

Hello! Yeah, nice pace for a wet morning. Hopefully meet again next time I'm running late!

Jonny, the smoker of clints and tibbs on brixton road. Nice profile tim, drop-tastic. 2 banbury boys in one day, things are looking up!

Ha, I thought that too. He's polish or something though, and one of the 5th floor guys.

Why is he wearing a MASH jumper when he's a '5th floor crew'?
