This morning's commute and other commuting stories

Had a couple of front wheel slides this morning. Some very greasy road surfaces about.

(I know, don't lean.)

Your pigeon not a fan of Erasure then?

Well what a difference a day makes the CS7 was a thing of joy last night a few other cyclist but not the cluster fuck that was Tuesday night, was it the threat of rain that put everyone off?

To the young lady who undertook me at Clapham North tube and then continued through the red lights, hope the plastic bag that got caught up in your rear mech didn't delay you to much...Karma

Would deploy plastic bags again 8/10

Crashed tractor in dulwich, someone probably trying to outdo all the neighbours with the their Land Rovers

Freshly cleaned, lubed and tightened chain. Mmmm 9/10.

Ooh, tightened, that's well saucy.

Further to @greenhell's report of CUNTY driving on Railton Rd SW, today's

CUNT OF THE DAY ON RAILTON ROAD (tm)

is seen hiding from my photo whilst trying to ring someone to take his stupid I AM BECOME DEATH DESTROYER OF WORLDS what has now got a fucked front axle from driving his nearside wing into a bike lockup facility. Oops you stupid cunt bet you were looking at your phone.

For real?

How on earth.....

Probably a Dulwich College student transporting their pocket money

(re. tractor)

@skullers - shit the fucking bed!

ooooffff how the fuck

Christ. Stoned? Texting? Just imbecilic?

I hope the bikes aren't damaged!

Nearly ate some serious manhole cover last Friday on the turn from Theobalds to Grays Inn Road. Wasn't even turning at this point! Can never be too careful

The end one, a shitbag hybrid, was damaged quite severely, as the structure of the shed folded so it was squashed against the end grille. Best ride in there, a niceish build Genesis Equilibrium, looked relatively undamaged, but was trapped in the squash with kerb and structure forcing into and tangling with wheels, pedals, bars etc. Crabon fork was probably impacted in some way ... I would imagine the victim (who was there being helped by an ex-BC guy try to extract the bike) would want to claim for a totally new ride just in case.

Bike shed came out of nowhere and no hi vis, zero sympathy.

Does the bike shed pay road tax? Does it fuck!

Yeah, when I said I bet the cunt was on the phone, I meant the shed, natch.

Not wearing a helmet either, also should it be reported as 'A Bike shed has collided with a car'?

With their arrogant attitude, acting like they own the-bit-not-quite-actually-on-the-road, it is surely only a matter of time before one of these 'bike sheds' injures an OAP. Don't even get me started on bike racks.

They sit there as if they're invincible.

In their ridiculous, steel-hugging grey paintwork.

Why don't they grow up, can't they afford to be a proper car garage?
