...only a short one from station of office

4 RLJ'rs
One 'hipster fixie woman' who had a right attitude and believed she owns the road.
One middle aged chap with his young offspring following on another bike ๐Ÿ˜ฏ
One Transit van
One London bus

2 Boris bike berks
One riding on pavement, weaving in and out of things and riding wrong way down road
One eeejit oblivious to the Fire Engine right behind him on a blue light run with siren and 'honky noise' going because he was a tit with earphones on.

2 suicidal pedestrians

It was pretty quiet out there this morning!

Nope, just exactly as I saw things. Point one was backed up by her launching a vile rant at a pedestrian she nearly hit who was crossing on a green man

Think yourself lucky - sounds a lot more interesting than my commute.
Oh hang on - I fell off on some ice yesterday and bashed my hip - that was quite interesting ๐Ÿ™‚

Went out last night and left the bike at work, so:

God knows how many people on the tube, 1/2 a Marc Maron podcast - interview with Jim Breuer.

I saw:

1 red kite
1 squirrel
Beautiful calm sea
Sunlight poking through rain clouds

Glad I don't live anywhere near London... :mrgreen:

Would be more useful with relative numbers of cyclists cars etc...

I'm tempted to video some junctions on my commute home in London.

The attitude that all cyclsits are law-breakers needs arguing against whenever it crops up. Theres some good first hand accounts on Guardian about how people have failed to get justice because of deeply ingrained anti-cyclist stances

I get the feeling someone could run me over tomorrow, and without any investigation whatsoever, people would blame me for running red lights, or not looking where i'm going. Quite a depressing feeling.
