Skinned alive as the man who's name I've forgotten on ITV4 said. The speed he's going at while they patch him up from the car though!

Oh, Peraud! That's a terrible tumble. And a little bit NSFW.

Right. Commence rant.

I have had enough of men on geared bikes overtaking me in dangerous positions, like with pedestrians coming towards us on an access road (the marshes end of Coppermill Lane) or on the rather pave-esque climb of MacKenzie Road, N7, and then not having the legs to get all the way past me and sitting there, slightly ahead and to my right, waiting for me to meekly let them get in front of me slowing me down. Regardless of what’s behind us or otherwise going on with the traffic. Why do they do this? Because I'm a woman? Because I'm riding a fixed gear bike? Because they haz small penis? Because their massively inflated homo erectus egos demand it?

I do not care. I only wish to live. Cycle training, every damn last one of them.

Rant over. I feel much better now, thank you.

Puncture this morning. Reach in bag for relevant tools. No tools. Not even irrelevant ones. Did swear.

This is carnage. Awesome.

Hooray! That was for Tony - the win and the double fisted roar.

A well-spoken young man cycled into the back of me this morning. He had clearly hopped on his barely-used full suspension mountains because of the tube strike. He admitted it was entirely his fault, that I had made it perfectly clear (with some fine hand signals) that I was turning left and he could see that I was slowing for a car to pass in the road ahead. As result I couldn't be all superior and sarcastic, I could only get away with a bit of grumpy muttering.

That charming bastard.

4/10

Roooooooooooooar!

Please let Tony hang on for the yellow!

Ah, makes sense. Thank you.

Why does Quemeneur have those two little brake levers on his bars, right next to the stem?

I had a nice chat at the lights on Lordship Park with a chap on a bright green Grasshopper recumbent. Surprisingly nippy for such an ungainly looking creature. The bike that is, not the chap. Arf, arf!

Lovely weather, no murder vans, novice triathletes or kamakazi pedestrians so the full 10/10 I think.

That's actually impressive. Minesweeper is one of the few things that make me feel totally stressed out. That and birds inside buildings.

I'd like to join, unless that would be too much like a Forum New Person Nobody Knows barging in.
If it helps I am terrible at this sort of thing and would represent no threat at all.

Ah, that explains why he's only got time for one bicycle, the cheeky scamp.

To be fair, a new set of testicles can be quite cheap if you aren't too fussy about species.

Cajun prawn?

Pledged. I do love a good musette.

I love stuff like this! Have signed up for email updates in a state of great excitement.

Best of luck with it all.

I passed an accident this morning 'bout 9.10am. First time I've seen one in many years of riding about. A male cyclist down (he had brown curly hair, maybe late thirtes, black bike, blue taped bullhorns) by a zebra crossing on the corner of Arvon Road and Drayton Park. A very stupid junction that - seems like a lot going on. He looked to be well taken care of by passersby and the po po were on the scene. Obviously, hope he's going to be on the mend very soon.

Careful with that thing.

I think Cazanove Road, N16, might have been a clusterfuck this morning. Awaiting official definition. So much going on I got my feet stuck in my pedal straps and almost went sideways over someone's bonnet and then, due to evasive action, through someone's open passenger door. Ah, the school run.

Still, 7/10

Didn't get the memo about it being National No Indicating Day, but it's such a lovely day I'll let it slide this once. Quite confident riding fixed now too.

9/10

PM'd you, @Uncle_Buk. I think. First time I've PM'd anyone - could be a disaster.
