All the showers at work taken up by the part time cyclists, I almost hope it starts raining again.

I'll take "Things cyclists say to avoid being happy about the good weather" for 800 please Alex.

Crazy busy on the CS7 this morning.

Should have got out of bed earlier.

4/10

Taxi home last night after massively overdoing it in the pub.

Too much alcohol in the system to sleep properly, got the tube in at 6:30 still drunk.

Suffering now.

Ugh.

Cos they don't know about lorry blindspots?

There were about 15 of them... You'd think one of them would have the nous not to do it.

Big old monster of a lorry (of the sort that has to swing out hard to the right before turning left) got caught at the reds on Southwark Street with his front portion in the ASL and his left blinker on. Legally, of course, since he was in the box when the light went red.

Why oh why oh why oh WHY would you filter up his left and just sit there in his blind spot?

Oh that's right - you're protected by the mysterious powers of the blue paint.

Am still baffled about the need to be at the front when waiting for lights. I was the first at a set of lights so at the front, by the time the lights went green I was at the back. but immediately overtook everyone.

Seemed to be a particularly bad morning for this.

is there such a thing as an immovable object?

Depends on the unstopability of the force applied.

a total cheesedick

Which would explain the need for a 30 minute shower.

That's perfect - just make sure you arrive at 07:44.

... What did you do to his lorry?

Would the real @ChainBreaker please stand up?

I saw a man who claimed to be @ChainBreaker. Who's to say it wasn't an impostor?

Headwind this morning. Ugh.

Everyone on the road seems fucking hammered tonight. That's the only explanation for the shit driving.

Misty, innit?

Good one today. Saw I chap I see pretty regularly coming down Clarence Avenue with his kid - this time on a tandem.

Couple (both on bikes) sitting in front of the lights at E&C having a little snog. D'aww, spring is sprung.

Nice slow roll to work in great weather. 10/10

Haha, the trackstand was great - I was genuinely gutted when you bailed out of it.

I'm mostly jealous I can't do it myself.

Met @ChainBreaker in his forum cap and funky socks on the CS7 this morning. Good chat!

Felt immensely uncool in my flouro commuter jersey and matching helmet.

Another possible forumenger who didn't identify himself at the same set of lights. Who was that?

Yup - was clear when I went through about half an hour ago.

Lovely ride in actually, considering the threatening weather.

like a bit of weed, drink far too much, run red lights and indulge in anal sex

Three out of four ain't bad...

Northern end of Southwark Bridge. As has been mentioned above, it's not great at the best of times, but this morning was truly rubbish.

Avoid if you can.

Edit: Yes, what @biarittz said.

Followed two cyclists up the CS7 this morning. One bearded chap riding fixed and helmetless (not a criticism - I was helmetless this morning too) and a lady with an orange frame and a messenger bag with various badges on it. One of the badges had a dinosaur on it and said 'Good girl', if I recall correctly.

On here?

+1 for the CS7 clusterfuck coming into the City this morning. They'd better be doing something good to that road...

Felt an overwhelming sense of sadness tonight when I saw a guy on a scooter talking to (no... abusing) a pedestrian (who had the temerity to cross the road) with the kind of vitriol otherwise reserved for war criminals and Conservative politicians.

Stay safe out there, people.

In my limited experience, it's best to just assume that they don't indicate ever, and cater for every possible scenario.
