This morning's commute and other commuting stories

If you know where it is...?

In an office building with multiple offices in it

If you know where it is...?

Within a few hundred meters. Tho if it hasn't moved it must be worth a look up and down the street.

edit:

In an office building with multiple offices in it

Ah, might be a few too many doors to knock on then.

Kick all the doors down.

It appears to in a building in the offices of the House of Lords - maybe kicking doors down isn’t a great idea

If this building has a reception desk and possibly a public address system maybe they could put a shout out ?
"my lords , ladies and gentlemen - has anyone found a mobile telephone this morning ? "

We have an inside man in the HoL!

Felt like I was cycling through treacle. Slowest commute for a long time.

(Mostly heading E/NE).

Thank god it wasn't just me, then. I was worried I'd woken up missing half of my fitness.

I cycled E/NE, smashed it coz I brought racebiek®️

It was at reception, maybe this will T-Cut out

Front of house?

Try putting it in a bowl of rice.

Last night overtook a guy (lycra, ffwd deep sections, aero lid, 40-60 male) coming past Old Vic, neither of us were going fast. Did notice that he hopped on my wheel but thought nothing of it. Rolled through the red light near the obelisk to wait by the roundabout as there were no peds around and it saves quite a bit of time and the guy went absolutely ballistic screaming about RLJ and how he was going to catch me.

I waited around to admit that I couldn't justify the RLJ but that I didn't really appreciate his tone and he blasted past shouting "don't f****** overtake me" and proceeded to jump the next red. By this point I was quite tickled so pulled up next to him at e&c roundabout and got an earful including: "don't talk to me, I'm a fucking nutter" and "I get much too aggressive in these situations". He didn't appreciate my calm and genuine offer to talk about what I assume must be an impending divorce ¯_(ツ)_/¯

He disappeared down towards Walworth and I was wondering 1. Is he on here? 2. Anyone come across him before? In 4 years of central London commuting I've never seen someone go off quite like that!

Sorry about that.

I'm only that angry because I ride FFWD wheels. When I have Zipps I'm much calmer.

?

In an alternate universe where I have money I can imagine the pain, forgiven

Sadly wasn't him but what a chap

NW3 Jazz Club used to be my local boozer at school and after, when NW3 was my usual stomping ground and back in the days it was the Duke of Hamilton. Used to be a decent pub. Sadly, they're all getting shut down. Jack Straw's Castle, the White Bear, the Duke of Hamilton. All gone.

I think I saw him wedging himself into the middle of a pack of already waiting cyclists in an ASL somewhere around there either yesterday or the day before. were they red/black ffwwd decals? only bit of the bike I can remember.

I was gonna have a look for this fella on twitter, can't find him.
Fancied a night of trolling someone aswell!

Edit who is that? Steve Coxshall?

That Chris Welham fella
