I rode in today, lots of traffic and bad driving. Didn't bother to stop at the cafe.

I rode in today, lots of traffic and no bad driving. got a friendly wave out of at least 6 car drivers for waving them past or thanking them for waiting behind me.
it's not all bad.

Traffic in NW London did seem heavier today, probably back to the usual work pattern for most commuters after the holidays.

| I rode in a took a new route which avoided having to go past a high school at the expense of going along a dirt track. Well worth it to avoid hundreds of navel-gazing twerps blocking the cycle path. |

i felt a bump on the bonnet at one point, but dismissed it as the bassline jumping in the backstreet lights. i'll check the 'idiots on the road' thread for any evidence of me hitting someone... |

My walk to work knackers me out. My office is in our loft conversion so that is two flights of stairs!!! Then I realised I had fogotten my keys with my cryptocards on so I had to go all the way down again and back up. |
