This morning's commute and other commuting stories

You were the cute...

Stop right there.

He's hardly likely to find her based on just that.

Fine, I can just hang around Borough waiting for a girl on a scooter. Shouldn't take long.

Somewhere my dad is posting the exact same scenario on a MCR Utd forum.

"I take my daughter to Old Trafford, while my mincey lad is off riding around in circles with his mates in lycra in that there London"

Spat on by a guy in Brixton wearing a blue eye patch. He was also shouting at the bus stop. Anyone else entcounter this tubby pirate on their wonderings?

bus stop

Which bus stop?

Stop Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr?

Hahahaha #rep

My commute this morning involved rolling out of bed, crossing the hallway to the toilet, peeing, and wandering back to bed for two hours.

Would commute to the toilet and sleep an extra two hours again 10/10

A few of us got a bit of a telling off my from a young eager PC this morning as we waited in the ASL box. Reason was that our front wheesl was half over the line and the reason for this was that a number of cars and motorbikes had already occupied some of the space. The last bit being pointed out by his senior colleague that in fact the cars were in the wrong not the cyclist.

Get a piss pot. You're over-doing it.

I need an etiquette opinion.

We have numbered racks and allocated spaces at work. If someone is in my space do I

A) carefully move their bike to another empty space?
B) rub crotch/bum juices onto their saddle and bars then move their bike to an empty space?
C) put nails in their tyres, cut their gear cables and undo their stem bolts before shitting on their saddle?

I have no idea who's bike it is, obviously if I knew I would kill them in the face with fire for such a violation of my personal space.

If it's been put it in your space then surely it now belongs to you.

do a round robin email to everyone at your work and say you're not angry, just disappointed.

You forgot the typical workplace option: a campaign of passive-aggressive post it notes.

C) put nails in their tyres, cut their gear cables and undo their stem bolts before shitting on their saddle?

Pretty certain I read this almost verbatim in Debrett's.

Took the Tube. Fuckin' bossed it. I might even finish a book this year if I can just get a couple more Tube commutes in. #winning

Grass them up to the powers that be by saying the bike has been placed there illegally, and that you think it's stolen and they should confiscate it and turn it over to the police.

Stuff seat tube with explosives and kiddy porn then call po po.

All my yearly incidents in one commute. From lemmings throwing themselves in front of me, to having a heated exchange with a girl who decided she's far too busy to stop for peds crossing at a zebra, to a cabbie who felt he needed both lanes of a street and would hit me head on unless I got out of his way.

Am now taking my medicine in the garden.

Nearly got taken out on e and c roundabout. By an ambulance. It pulled on to the roundabout without giving way to the right. The direction I was coming from. With traffic behind me.

A few people did silly things but I felt really good on the bike and weather was lovely this morning so couldn't care less. 9/10 would float along on a happy cloud again.

lock their bike up

Lovely weather, nice slow commute home, got undertaken, another cyclist pulled straight off the pavement into my path, I stopped at a red light plenty didn't. Shrugged and enjoy my own ride.

Now waiting for a curry
