Public Transport....What a Dragggg

After a week of nasty flu and imploding a lung am having to travel into Central London on public transport, what an absolute mare. Feel like I have let myself down after 8 months of commuting whatever the weather.

You are sick so you choose PT? Awesome.. glad I skipped my rest day this week :)

Ride through it. Wrap up warm and go slower.

yeah I guess it isnt good to spread it around really, makes me very selfish, hopefully back on 2 wheels tomorrow.

Seriously public transport = toxic infection flu cold bollox.

This is the first winter I have sailed through without ailment whilst my some of my work colleagues have had hacking coughs for months on end. Only thing changed is me not in enclosed warm moist transport spaces.

I think PT makes you more sick. This winter I have had two weeks on the train / tube for various reasons and during both weeks I contracted that bloody awefull flu.

It's true, I always get colds from the tube. Haven't had one for ages, started using the tube again about 2 weeks ago and feel one coming on as I type. Tube = greasy handrails, people sneezing/coughing, dirty seats, hot. All the ingredients are there

Pistanator It's true, I always get colds from the tube. Haven't had one for ages, started using the tube again about 2 weeks ago and feel one coming on as I type. Tube = greasy handrails, people sneezing/coughing, dirty seats, hot. All the ingredients are there
Yeah and why does nobody put there hands over there mouths like our mums told us to! I actually saw an NHS poster on the tube stating people should cover there mouths while coughing / sneezing.

this is the first time in 18 months I have been ill, but I work in central London in the public transport industry but usual avoid it like the plague,lol, couldn't be doing with all those sick people. Had to travel to Nottingham the other week on the train, thats where I reckon I caught it.

I got the tube yesterday with a cold, i felt really bad because it was packed... i bet i infected about 30 people...

C***! You weren't on the Victoria Line were you!? >:-(

er, yes for a couple of stops... (green park - oxford circus)... also in the morning from brixton - green park... It was the central line that was busy though.

Toerag! That's my line. Brixton - King's Cross! Where a mask tomorrow please ;-)

get on your bikes you skivers

I had to do this over the summer after being rushed to hospital in the night.
Took two days on the Bus- late both times after leaving well over an hour to get in (leaving at 7 am), and got so pissed off went back to riding- twenty odd mins in, which allowed me time to have a swim too.

Then again in Ox, had to go to the JR- job interview- took the bus one day (thought it would give vital reading time) and it took 35 mins or more to get from oxford central to the JR, got fed up got back on the bike and today was there in like 10-11 mins. Ridiculous.

ill.
tube.
bike out of action while i fix up / save up.

bollocks.

dont worry pistanator, the cold is more or less gone and anyways i'm back on a bike (was working yesterday and had nowhere to park my expensive bike)

I was in a foul mood on Monday....was a cnut to everyone i worked with and just a morose human being. wasn't able to put my finger on why tho.

cycled in today was all smiles and charm, realised that I hadn't cycled on Monday and had taken the train instead. Basically not getting the fresh air and the exercise in the morning turmed me in to a right old sh!t and that cycling makes me a nice person to be around.
