The daily "I cycled to work" thread
Discussion
Good 22km commute today. Started in the dark with headtorch (front and rear lights as I use a the Bristol-Bath cyclepath) and had dawn breaking behind me. Nice steady pace of just inside 7mins/mile (running). Plenty of cyclists at the Bristol end, plus a few other runners at the Bath end. The obligatory walker dressed in all black with no reflective bits or torch too
Really don't understand the flashing bright front lights used by some other commuters - they don't light the path, they're dazzling and make it very hard for others to judge the distance to the rider. They might be seen, but they're not helping others avoid them.

If I cycle in it usually takes 40-45 minutes, but this morning taking the car for a service it actually took longer even though the journey was shorter. When I left home it was in bright sunshine but by the time I got to the garage there was thick fog everywhere - made the half a dozen mile ride to the office interesting with no lights.
Ride into work this morning was stunning! LOVE this time of year!

First day with some Under Armour ColdGear leggings on under my bib shorts this morning along with a winter jersey and some thicker gloves. All felt neccessary sadly. The number of cyclists here does appear to have dropped off already. Almost down to just the faces i was seeing last December when i started. I suspect once the clocks go back they will all be back in their cars.
