and again
~40 mins.
Excuse me if I enthuse over my new method of commuting for a few posts - most of the %fish will no doubt say "I told you so", but bah.. so what, they did and I am, so ner.
There certainly seem to be a large number of cyclists on the roads in the morning, I'm sure somewhat inflated by the July 7/21 attacks, but they truly range from the "basket on front" to the "basketcase", from sauntering to hammering. This only being my second ride (and first in 'rush' hour traffic), I'm still stopping for most red lights, using the road signs to direct me, and generally thinking back to when I was 12 and doing my cycle proficiency - compared to the death dodgers who play some sort of parkour with their bikes, speeding away from me looking on with a glazy mix of fear by proxy and desire. I'm sure at some point I'll have slightly larger balls and do some hardcore lane changes (although to be fair today, I didn't 'go pedestrian' once).
