This morning's commute and other commuting stories

Though it might contribute to the entertaining trend of people on here being disappointed when swearing doesn't make strangers respond warmly and with gratitude.

So what does a heap of shit sound like? I think we should be told. :)

I can demonstrate.

Maybe like the prick screeching to a halt an inch behind me three lights in a row. My impression of a heap of shit bike 'EEEEEEEEUUUUUUURRRRRR.....TUH...'

LFGDS?

Mmmm look at that rain. Delicious.

Just thinking the same...

First proper rain since the summer commuters came out to play. CS7 should be fun, no?

It's a bit too cold for that glorious summer rain feeling today. Oh well, it's only 10km.

that glorious summer rain feeling

Hng. I love it when you talk dirty.

Kinda enjoyed going fast in the rain over to meet @dbr (thanks again). Almost no other cyclists and no sun/insane driving from cars.

Indeed, although I must admit thought the weather people were talk shite so took off the temp rear mudguard thing....

Can't wait for a bash in the rain today, finally get some space on the roads again

Yeah, I'm mudguard-less too. And I left my lights at home - would really rather have them in this gloom.

Ha, I'm well prepared - got the jacket, got the waterproof socks, got the bag cover. Forgot the lights though.

Rear SKS removable blade thing helped stop my ass getting soaked. Probably the only dry part by the end of the short ride.

I'm skiiiiding in the rain. Just skiiiiding in the rain...

9 hours delivering parcels in the piss wet. Felt like Lars Boom stage 5 TDF2014.

Bib shorts and a short jersey and then the hail started...

Had to grAb the mtb this morning. Felt a little slower

Beautiful day. Blue skies, sunshine, birds singing... Then I got on the train. Bollocks.

Almost Uber'd it home last night, changed my mind, got a little damp but just glad to have the bike at home this morning so I didn't have to bus in.
Possible slow puncture, will find out this evening.
Lots of kettling at the lights, high viz and questionable over/undertaking.

First time riding fixed in traffic for AAAAAges...

Didn't quite find my flow.
Enjoyed it immensely none the less.

8/10 - would fixie whip skid again
