The daily "I cycled to work" thread
Discussion
Drove today instead, and still I get aggro.
Driving up a busy high street, there's nose to tail traffic in the opposite lane, mine is moving at around 20 mph. As I indicate and filter right into my right turn only lane, a workman-type cyclist on a £100 Argos mountain bike swings out from behind a bus, cycling straight at me. I stopped, he stopped right in front of me. I shrugged at him, he gave me the finger, then tried to squeeze down the gap between my car and the bus, while shouting all manner of expletives at me.
He was in my bloody lane!

Better ride in this morning but had 1/2 hour panic when couldn't find wallet. Cycled in early, 0615 and got in at 0640, where the security guard asked if I had lost anything? He had found my wallet when it dropped out of my bag when sorting out crook lock. What a fantastic bloke, I'm going to speak to building management and make sure they know about it. Nice when you work with good people!

k the 206, what a .
Yes I was going so fast on my trek 6000 mountain bike that the 206 couldn't keep up! After much rethinking and remembering the incident, yes I conclude the 206 crew were tools. Had I posted this story on general gassing no doubt people would be calling for my head on a stick, you get a more sympathetic viewpoint on this forum to cyclists!f
