This morning's commute and other commuting stories

"I need your clothes."

"I need your clothes, your boots and your bicycle."

It's not a tumor.

Rode to gym and latched on to an out of service bus at 6am... THEY SEE ME ROLLIN'

Barely had to turn the pedals. Nothing like getting sucked along by a huge red on a commute.

Its snowing in Belfast...1 cm overnight and it's back again.

Nearly went on my bum near the local Spar, cars trying to get up the tiny hill and skidding as not all roads are gritted... WFH for me today, I can do w/o falling on my face with white van near my rear reflector :)

Watched an almost identical incident last night, women in front of me on the pavement was on her phone facetiming someone, suddenly decided to cross the road right behind the back of a car, she was still on her phone and just walked into the road right in front of an oncoming cyclist, both got knocked over, cyclist stays down as he hit the deck quit hard, women gets up in tears, other people go to the cyclist, I ask her if shes ok and she screams my phone look at my phone which was smashed to bits on the floor. I shit you not, my response to her was you're fucking shitting me, that you're more worried about your poxy phone then the accident you have just caused. The person who was helping me with the women just walked away and left her to it as did I. The fella was moving and had been placed on the kerb. Had to leave to get my train. Was fuming most of the way home.

Fucking phone zombie meat sticks.

Drives me mad, now I'm ped commuter it just amazes me how much of head down looking at phone nation we are.

Wonder if she would still be moaning about her had it been a car. Still fuming now

Aye, my last view of the kid was him looking back at me with a "what's your problem? I'm okay..." expression as he walked away. I'm usually pretty good at pre-empting the dick-move-pedestrian/van/other-cyclist, but this came out of nowhere.

People like that behave the same when they're driving cars - I've been hit by one - they think looking where they're going is optional - killers with a passion for facebook etc.

Was on the bus going down Brixton Hill this morning watching drivers try to use their phones in the most subtle way possible.

Cunts.

Anyone got a 27" front wheel going cheap

I do! You can have it for free.

i'm staring at my crotch and my face is lit up like south mimms services.

When I read that, I had a vision of that peperami stick going mental. Strange image

Every time I used to cycle up to Cambridge and back I'd pass a shop by Stamford Hill that I thought was called "Jerusalami".

(It's long gone, hence the need to look back to 2008 in Street View.)

Nothing like getting sucked along by a huge red on a commute.

Late but euph?

Most definitely intended to be rude.

arrrgh, just passed over fifteen notes at a LBS for a gc Weinmann alloy on a Maillard hub. Wish I checked back here more often : (

Thanks anyway, (and I'll still take it off your hands if it's clutter) : )
