The daily "I cycled to work" thread

[counterofbeans]

-1 this morning but roads not slippy, thankfully

Am currently at 146 cycle commutes of 191 days worked so 76% and 2722 miles cycled

I drove. Would have braved the sub zero temps if I'd not seen the rain forecast for 4pm.

Will have to run at lunch instead.

Same as above, woke up feeling under the weather and don't mind the cold, I do mind getting in at 7pm soaked through to the skin and having sto spend 20 minutes sorting out loads of wet kit....so drove!

Tres cold today, ice in the garden.

Still went with shorts tho

[williredale]

Dry this morning but damp and slippery this afternoon. Cold on the hands though even with my Aldi winter gloves.

Very wet this morning - I'm not sure my kit (especially shoes) will dry out before tonight.

[Huntsman]

Got home before the rain last night.

This morning blowing a gale, headwind, bit of rain.

Charming week!

We've just had some horrific rain, but it seems to have settled down now.

Hoping to get home relatively dry tonight. Last night I was a bit moist, but most of my kit dried enough to wear this morning.

Birmingham is drizzly and cold, but the rain stayed light this evening. So a bit uncomfortable but not too bad. Definitely an evening for long sleeves and leggings though.

Got hailed on this morning on the way to the train station.

Then the staff at Warrington forgot I was there, so I am now having a morning going to London and back.

Four days in a row soaking wet. It's dry at the moment but I'm sure it will be raining by the time I leabe.

Great average! I sit at 55% I think. Though now I will be on 4/5 days for the rest of the year as the traffic is ste in to work and out of work. Proper grid lock.

Had a grin on my face just now as I went into the woods just outside work on my cross bike, getting sideways in the mud

Tuesday was epic in the cold.

Dodged it this morning as i had a pounding headache and it was hamming it down.

I need to get some type of visible jacket now (black hoodie is a bit nighttime-camo!) and maybe a helmet light thing.

Cold this morning. My Aldi winter gloves don't seem to be keeping my hands as warm as I would like.

5 days in a row this week - so 130 miles ish. I seem to be ok in terms of temperature, but me legs had nothing in them this morning - I'm blaming my new shoes which seemed to have moved by foot position a bit, so I'm very sore from getting home last night.

I think I've only got the train in 3 or 4 times in the last 3 months - I must be on about 80% riding in.

[Huntsman]

Couple of days off for me, last seven weeks I've cycled 91% of days.

[Craikeybaby]

Very cold this morning. When I got in to the office my fingers felt like the were on fire as they warmed up.

[Liquid Knight]

My experimental front light...



...with pencil beam worked well on the way in but on the way home several drivers didn't dip their headlights at all or flashed so I guess being considerate is futile.

I've slacked off a bit over the past year or so. I'm now up to 5 days off since March 2013. Practically a fair-weather cyclist

Opposite for me. I stopped cycling because the weather was too nice (for norms).
