This morning's commute and other commuting stories

Yes. I was born in 2001.

That aside (by the way, I have 14 degrees, but don't like to talk about them), whilst your protestations are noted I'm sticking to Occam's Razor on this one.

The odds of there being two people as boring as you are astronomical.

On my commute to the pub last night, I got an egg thrown at me from a passing car. Its happened twice now. This time however I saw the car, and it got stuck at some traffic lights and I caught it. As it was a car full of 'Ladz' impressing their 'Laydeez' I didn't mention anything, just kept thinking 'well this is awkward'. Nothing has ever come of yelling at drivers.
Its interesting to note that there is a lot of complaint about bad drivers, but some aren't bad, there just willfully arseholes.

How does this inpress the laydeez?

Is it like beating up the weedy kid?

If you say so.

LOL .. well, not much to say. You've apparently already made up your mind.

All I can reply is that I have never posted to this website as anyone else. But you won't believe that, so shrug...

As for the rest of your rant, rather amusing, I have to say. Especially the 'teenage' bit, because unless you're a lot older than you sound, I (born in 1967) am probably twenty years older than you... if not double your age.

And calling me 'stupid' just makes you look silly. I think that with four university degrees so far, I've done my bit to prove that I'm not that thick.

Although like everyone else, I can be at times.

Anyway, all good fun. My arse (or to be more precise, my perineum) is utter agony this evening, so I'm entrusting my commute to South Eastern tomorrow. That should be fun.

Need a more comfortable saddle.

Yes, the standard one's a bit sharp. Reminds me of this...

Had a tyre wall fail the other day going over to wandsworth.

No real idea how it happened, just a large pop and noticed that there was a tear in the side wall. It was a 26inch schwable jet.

Is that the yellow pages ad with seat like a razor blade?

'tis.

Find ones that fit your arse/seat bones. Makes life so much nicer, I don't even wear bib shorts or padding just comfortable underwear.

I have several saddles that seem to suit my arse.

Rode an old bike that I had in my teens and what was a comfy saddle definitely was not longer comfortable. Maybe the frame was a little to big for me so ended up selling it. With the saddle.

what a fucking belm.

Apparently I need to "spread rep"...? before I can +1 this post so I would like to announce my +1 for this simply for the use of the word "belm".

If you say so.

If you can, go and do a 'meets' pub thing. It'll prove you aren't a 'sockpuppet' and it'll take the wind out of the sails of those dissing you at the moment.

Assuming you are close enough to London's Famous London of course.

Got a Brooks B67 on my Surly. Lovely and comfy, but might be a bit OTT for the Genesis. Might buy a Cambium.

When's the next one?

Quite apart from anything else, I don't think it's appropriate for you to be screaming "cunt" at a young mother. You know, in front of her kids.

This morning I commuted. A couple of vans drove too close to me. I tutted. On Cambridge Heath Road a woman drove past me eating a bowl of cereal but I managed to stop myself calling her a whore. I was 10 minutes late for work, but it was 6am so no-one noticed. The sun was up, it was OK. I am 25 years old. Thank you.

I wish I were 25. Getting old(er) sucks.

Anyway, the child in the buggy would not have understood a word of what I said.

And I don't share this 'reverence' for mothers that seems to have taken hold of society. Why should someone get respect just because her vagina works and she got shagged without contraception?

I'm 47.

oh and fuck of with your tiresome nerging jeez, besides, i thought you had me on ignore?

I had a nice roll around Regents this morning - 5 faster laps and then a little warm down. It's nice getting there early when no-one is about. Testing out my new shoes and they're lovely, but I need a little wedge in the right shoe and some shorter socks.

Hitting 19 degrees before 8 o'clock is a glorious, glorious weekend indicator.

You sound nice.

Right shut up you lot.

Lovely out there isn't it! Brilliant roll this morning. One of those days when I wished I lived more than nine miles from work.

First day riding my mates road bike and it feels so strange...

You sound nice.

I am.

That would be the tubes being in one piece...

What the hell was going on last night, everyone at each other, cyclists, cars, buses, motorbikes. So many cars driving up the bus lane in an effort to overtake stationary traffic, then not be able to get back in. A Guy carrying a picture frame on his handle bars trying to go around E&C roundabout. Madness

Had to be in early this morning and overslept so got to enjoy 6 miles of shit traffic and crap roads rather than a nice bimble in via regents park as planned. Still, happy that I've managed to do 150 miles so far this week.

Got the train in. Giving my nether regions a break for a day. Very nice totty - about the only thing that makes the experience worthwhile.
