So many Boris bikes cutting in front and running red lights!

As much as a summer dress must be nice and light aren't woman scared it will get caught in the wheel or chain etc? I get worried if my shoe lace is loose let alone untied!

I do that route every day, Just keep your wits about you will be ok. I will have a look at the route that picco suggested how ever.

Once your used to it you could do it in 15mins.

Nice day for a ride! Bit of a breeze so it wasn't to hot either. If it stays like this its the long way home I think.

Wet and sticky ride in. Anyone else make the most of the police escort up old street / clerkenwell road?

I would like to know who they were transporting though as it seemed and awfully big fuss for a paddy wagon!

I've also been asking black cab drivers what they thought of the new lane.

One told me "it's alright now it's finished", but another said: "Boris Johnson has done more damage to London than the Luftwaffe".

Its days like this that quitting my job seems so easy. Ride in this morning 10/10 Lunch ride 15/10 I cant wait to get back out in this glorious sunshine at 5pm and take the loooooong way home.

Warm glorious sun 10/10 Working late tonight which I'm already regretting!

Fridays commute home after head wind morning was hitting a drain cover and getting a flat back tyre a quarter of the way into my ride. Had to be out for dinner at a certain time so jumped in a black cab who laughed as he hadn't picked up a bike before. Luckily no traffic so wasnt to late and didn't cost a future. Fixed Flat tyre on Sat. Sunday realised that my front was flat as well. Cunty.

This morning. fucking glooorious! Easesd back on the speed and cruised along in the sun and getting to work and seeing all the gumball cars parked outside the office. As cool as the Porsche 918 is I am a sucker for a lambo Aventador!

I hope so but I'm thinking just to spite me the wind will have magically changed directions. Although at least its blue sky again and not hail like lunch!

Cold head on wind the whole way from mile end to soho was cunty.

The cold air while still having a chesty cough was not that fun this morning. Seemed to be a few more bikes that usually from Old St all the way to Oxford circus. Although the people on boris bikes that need push in to go right to the front of the lights is a bit annoying when you just have to cycle round them within seconds. I shouldn't complain as I missed the weather yesterday.

I've noticed that my average speed is up on my ride both to and from work. It feels like a sub conscious thing.

I have both brakes still. I might go front only but no way would I go brakeless in London traffic. (Hats off to people that do, either you're crazy or mental I'm still undecided)

PM sent. thanks

Can you paint helmets as well or does the heat from drying not agree with them. (just assuming you use an oven to bake them in?)

Watched a two people step out in front of a cyclist today. He stopped just in time and I would assume say a couple of words to them. The guy tried to push over the cyclist but failed which I though was amusing.

I still think pedestrian training is needed.

I worked in the transport industry for a few years and saw and heard of some nasty stuff.

Winds me up no end when I give one room and people push past me left right and centre to make the gap when you really don't need to. (Do you reallllllly need to get to work that bad?)

The fact I have been in a car vs truck accident and came of very worse for wear also means I am probably more cautious than most.

If its stays like this I might just get a tan! Apart form seeing a school kid under a car (he was already surrounded by people so kept going) it was a good ride!

Gin tastes best in the sun though. Orrr and why didn't i think of this long way while ginning!

If only I could finish early! Long way home if it stays like this or normal way and drinks in the sun at home?

I see a lot of them daily. What surprises me is the lack of helmets / correct gear. I saw one girl riding in Ugg Boots / slippers!

They do indeed! My other passport says NZ so I often get confused as to what I am unless rugby is on then I know my nationality.

Stopping distance is a big factor.

20mph is 12 meters / 40 feet. 30 mph is 23m / 75 feet and so on. Makes a massive difference if the person in front hits the brakes, someone steps out onto the road, you didn't see that cyclist in your "blind spot"

A nice uneventful ride! Just how I like it.

My passport says British but nice try.

Cheers mate. A few cyclist rode past so maybe one of them are on here who knows!
