Tube strike, London

haha
It's bad enough when it's wet, dealing with drivers. fair weather commuters in the wet spells lots of carnage. Might get my camera ready.

Pretty stiff southerly winds too tomorrow, that'll be the worst bit.

Buy your tickets now for the 8am drag-racing out of the ASL

More rabbits to chase..

yeah, because laughing at people who do something slightly less frequently than you makes you awesome.

grow up.

Where was laughing mentioned?

i have a date tonight, at a pub obviously, and will have to cycle to/from it.
bloody strike

Cycling to work: serious business.

Just avoid bib shorts, you'll be fine

How's your non-specific co-datee getting to and from? If things go well will your be offering him/her/it a backie home?

Perhaps turning up on a tandem could be the cyclist's equivalent of packing a toothbrush

Early morning traffic absolutely fine; left an hour earlier than usual and it's a normal day on the roads for that time of day.

Not looking so good from where I am. traffic queuing all down the High Street.
These fools do make me smile to myself

I set off at 5.50am every day and it's usually fairly quiet till i get to old street and commercial road heading east. This morning it was like 5.30pm rush hour traffic the whole way. Lots of cylclists i don't usually see pulling a whole manner of crazy manoeuvres swerving in and out of traffic and putting their foot down on sections where you know you'll always get stopped at a red light so pretty much pointless.
The weather wasn't bad at all compared to what i thought it would be so i'm sure it wasn't too unpleasant for some of the fair weather guys.

Total non event for me. Left early so I could get in some extra laps and didn't notice any change to traffic or noddergeddon.

hundreds of people at Waterloo queing for the #1 bus... that goes as far as Holborn. why!?!

Re buses - even if it'd be quicker to walk, once people start waiting they don't want to stop because they've already waited however many minutes and surely there must be the next bus around the corner....

yep, i get stubborn like that as well. 'i've waited this long i need to stay to see it through'

Traffic all the way from Hampstead to the West End.
I'd like to ask them this. 'Seeing that it will take you at least 2 hours to get to work and then you have to find a place to park, have you not considered walking, running or cycling? It's only 5 miles you lazy fucking idiots. Downhill!'

Few more cars on some roads, but mostly nothing. Pleasant ride to work would ride again.

They'll be at the front of the queue in two days when it opens again

So, who rescheduled Drive to Work Day?
