TUBE STRIKE

So, to start I am very sorry that I haven't done any blog posts for such a long time, I have been uber busy but there is no excuse.

This Tube Strike has spurred me into action though. I have still been cycling into work everyday and to see the amount of traffic there was on the roads this morning, I thought I should mention it. My usual journey, which on average takes about 40 minutes took 1 hour 15 minutes today. I literally cycled through one giant traffic jam today.

I say to you RMT strike losers, "My company has a pay freeze because of the old recession, so I won't have had a pay increase since Jan 08, stop being so greedy and deal with the fact that you do a job that requires limited training and education. You provide a service which the whole of London is grateful for, but there are people who don't have jobs, but might want yours."

Shake it

Some more footage of my commute into work. I've speeded up the bits I thought were boring but let me know what you think.

Awesome substitute to actually cycling this weekend

I'm guessing there would be a lot of punctures, but I could live with that. Imagine how cool I would look.

The rules

So...
...when I am cycling I know that there are people out there who assume I will go through red lights, assume I will mount the kerb and assume that I wwill generally be shit on the roads.
I can understand peoples issues with cyclists, there are a lot out there that give us a bad name, but I would like to point out with this video that there are also pedestrians out there giving other pedestrians a bad name.
If there is a queue of traffic and you are a pedestrian, please don't just cross between the cars, because I may be cycling down the side of all the cars. Usually in a little lane called the cycle lane.
I usually get very annoyed, but this is because I would hate to hurt somenone, so just look please.

Officially Gutted!!!

I was very disorganised and so I ran out of space on my memory card this morning, only to miss a motorcyclist get so annoyed being stuck in a traffic jam that he went up onto the pavement and rode along on that for a bit. So let's hope people don't say its just cyclists, its motorcyclists too.

Nice Socks

Its funny how cyclists hate buses and taxis and vice versa, but sometimes we dislike each other. I wouldn't go so far as hate, as i'm pleased so many people do cycle. But get out of the way!!!

Bit of a video mash up

Wow! This footage is pretty incident free. I think i'll see if I can film where I have been as opposed to where I am going. Then I'll be able to see all the car drivers swearing at me.
