The daily "I cycled to work" thread
Discussion
Loved this morning's commute but did encounter 3 idiots on bikes who all went right through red lights.
One woman dismounted and walked across the chevron box as if it made things any better - still a red dear!
One other guy sailed through a red and around the corner - sans helmet and carrying a Costa coffee cup as he cycled.
Nae wonder cyclists get a bad rep!

First ride in on Project Singlespeed. Why is it I always encounter the MAMIL's when I'm on a completely unsuitable bike? happened last friday where I managed to hang on but couldnt pass and this morning where I did pass, then he came past and I couldnt get my legs spinning quick enough to keep up.
Back on the roadie Wednesday, probably wont see anyone!!!!

First ride in for 3wks due to travelling a lot round the region, legs in good form, just a bit blunt...
Out of routine so spent ages getting ready this morning - so late, cursing the regime cycling to work dictates.
Now sat at work waiting for wife to turn up with spare keys for the Kryptonite lock as the key bent unlocking the stiff lock this evening.
Cue annoyed wife and grumpy 8mth old, plus ride home with only rear light in the dark
I love cycling to work... today however is testing my resolve to up the km's for the nnext 3wks before 3wks off in Europe.

WOke up expecting heavy rain, but was sunshine!
Got a bit wet from spray, was quite windy, legs were tired too and hated the first half, once I got on the last gravel bit for a couple of miles it was great, guess it took me 25 mins to warm up, should have stretched last night and this morning!

Slept in this morning. Had an early meeting so leapt out of of bed, jumped on the bike and set off to work enjoying the warm, balmy weather and the feeling of freedom. After five miles I noticed that I'd forgotten my helmet.
Doh.
Went a bit slower after that.
Glad it's not just me that does that. I got halfway in before realising I wasn't wearing gloves once.Doh.
Went a bit slower after that.

I've done that. I only noticed because I went to adjust it, and found that there was nothing to adjust. I've also forgotten to take boxers to work...Doh.
