I am feeling rather angry / concerned for my own safety this morning.
1. A van came around a corner on the wrong side of the road and nearly hit me
2. A car ran a red light whilst i was crossing the road and nearly hit me
3. Pedestrians walking on cycle / pedestrian path in the pitch black dark = very hard to see. My lights got them at the very last minute.

Got wetter than an otter's pocket on the way home. Had to pour water out of my shoes before coming in the house..
Hehe me too.Left work in shorts but took the waterproofs as I knew rain had been forecast.
Half way the wind picked up and a bit of drizzle so put on the waterproofs.
With 1.5 miles left it suddenly pissed it down and the wind just doubled. I was luckily very close to a subway so sheltered but was already soaked in the 2 mins it took to get underground !
Blimey Fridays ride home was was probably the worst all round weather I have ever ridden in!
Thick mud and flooded gravel track first , then heavy rain, then freak strong winds that pushed me to the wrong side of the road!! Ive ridden the route for 10+ years and never been actually been pushed off the road by crosswind! Then to finish off strong hail in the face!
I looked out the window and decided to drive today!
