Except mercifully, walkengers don't generally wear head to toe DayGlo, helmets and Lycra, or track their every movement on a computer device, or bust a gut to overtake you (and then stop in front of you), or spit right by you, yet ;)

Christ, I sound so bitter! (Had to endure 8 hours of an eye-poppingly loud sanding machine in my house today which could explain the short fuse.)

^^ Also, at 29 of the 164 monitoring locations, cyclists made up the majority of vehicles on the road.

To be honest though, photos like the cover shot do nothing to endear me:

What's wrong with it?
Too many helmets?
I just think it's odd - these people aren't doing a professional or Olympic road race - they're going to work, yet the image screams aggression, danger, competition, angst, aliens in Lycra, and what's worse, it doesn't look in any way enjoyable.

Nah - if/when I go away I'll take the iPad and load it up with lots of porntentous films ;)

My cat managed to send a (nonsensical) email once - to 800 people :/

Spammy kitty.

Do I need to ask for anyone at the shop? Will swing by tomorrow. Thanks Jessle!

Haha!

Actually, I did just win an iPad Mini but can't see myself reading books on that either.

Don't care if I fall asleep with a paper book but not an expensive gadget - I have visions of me dropping, dribbling or rolling over onto it and/or waking up to find a cat bum on it or that I've been using it as a pillow - all of which would be fairly annoying.

Exactly. Hopefully David's being PMed like crazy.

Ha! I've been through every one of those commuter cluster f*** junctions in the past couple of weeks - didn't spot anyone on here though.

Leo this morning outside Peckham library - nice to see you :)

I think I just prefer paper. :)

It's true. I had never heard of a clitoris either....
Triumphant too!

Are you home safe now Oz?

For all Drama Llamas, there's a subreddit on reddit.com that you might enjoy. It's the reddit equivalent of LFGSS Popcorn.

www.reddit.com/r/Subredditdrama

It throws up the occasional gem. Here's one from a few months ago. Backstory, guy tries seducing a girl over private messages using ridiculously overelaborate language, gets torn to shreds.

Girl then posts the PM exchange in /r/creepyPMs

Thread gets picked up by /r/Subredditdrama
Well I never thought I'd learn a new word from this creepy source.

He's really dug himself a nasty hole there.

Did Idra offer to stress test the carbon for him?
Don't you start Kris!

Have you chaps seen this Friends of the Earth initiative to involve the public with the creation of wildflower havens for bees all over the UK? http://www.foe.co.uk/what_we_do/bee_worlds_39332.html

Some stark stats are cited.

Rest in peace, rider. :(

It is nice to see decent folk of the forum giving the guy constructive advice and offers of help - including Indra and 1000archangels.

Why popcorn though, it's just people jumping on someone who made a bad decision and bullying the poor bugger. What is the popcorn tannoy mean't to achive other than:

'paging all trolls, please come and rub this guy's face in the shit as he made an error of judgement'

FFS - give people a break from this tedium and go do something constructive.
Repped.

^ In Glastonbury, of course!

Who needs a sticker when you've got the whole costume?

Yup, thought I broke my collar bone too and couldn't stand up for fear of crying but just shock and some nasty road rash and bike replacements is all! (the girl who borrowed it crashed it herself and ruined the headset, tried to turn a corner, no dice)

Thanks Alex. xx
You poor thing. Shouldn't she be helping with the repair costs?

if it rains, im not riding...

well if it rains, and we havent set off yet, then im not riding.
Yeah, you will :)

^ What a great opportunity!

Gah - I've decided to sell my Kindle (3G Wireless, 2011). I'm just never going to get in to using it.

Used it twice, if that. Bought a new USB cable as I lost that. Have quite a few books already loaded on it.

Paid £152.00 - open to offers around the 100 mark.
