This morning's commute and other commuting stories

Did you get their plates?

Best thing to do, I reckon, unless you're arguing a specific point is read out their number plate really load back to them. Most people get the hint and fuck off.
The rest I ram my fist through their skull and use their brains as chain lube, allegedly.

Pfft like they have brains

But where will I put my titanium mug when I go carpacking?

Coldharbour Lane, happened this morning I think

Passed a fella in full winter jacket and tights this morning. Almost fainted at the thought of how hot he was.

Heat acclimation training...

I imagine she is the sort of driver that deliberately sits in the ASL to the left so that cyclists can’t filter past her. WAC

But... the... right... side ... is... still.. there..

Nope I did not, but I like that tactic.

Not if there's a 20 car queue with no gaps between them behind it there isn't.

I don't understand.
If you're 20 cars behind, how do you know they've moved across the ASL?

Anyway, there's always a gap.

Deja-vu, holy crap! Had same thing happen once with a driver in exactly same car. Number plate doesn't start YK13 by any chance?

35.5 degrees on the way home just now. Bidon of lukewarm water added to the revoltingness.

Nope, mcr not ldn too.

Hot as hell. Plus a 20+mph headwind, which was useful. Then got stung three times by a wasp caught in the jersey. And cu(n)t up by left hooking Merc driver at a junction. And left a big bottle of water in the fridge at work.

There was a FG, an SS, a roadie and a recumbent waiting at the traffic lights and they all had a race

punchline?

Yeah, although you wouldn’t know that from the average gutter-hogging London commuter.

Did you win?

The recumbent won

I won at filtering but on the open road not so much

5 bananas are 49p in tesco so I got carried away, loaded the rear panniers & the bike reared up when I set off.
