Your rants here.

itboffin

No beer for a while well until tomorrow and again on Friday but not yesterday or today, then zero the week after.

I've been smashing it even by my standards and with the marmotte knocking at the door needs must.

veronese68

Don't worry, I'm compensating for your abstinence. My diet on Sunday consisted almost exclusively of beer and cake.

janm399

Swivel-eyed loons at the door, "we're here to talk to you about vote leave."
Moi: "please do!"
Swivel-eyed loons ???
Moi: "leave! now!"

They looked confused, unhappy, hollowed-out human beings.

Rant over.

FFS CS3 outside Shadwell station... 3 days the route has been closed and no alternative but the usual "cyclists dismount". It's the busiest cycle route in the country, akin to closing the M25 and asking motorists to get out and push.

Had you fallen off your bike just before the previous test? If there was less blood in your system, presumably the pressure would be lower...

Black Cab drivers. Crap driving, crap attitude. Bring on driverless cars and force these fat dinosaurs into extinction. At least when an Addison Lee driver nearly kills you he doesn't stop to tell you it was your fault and give you a piece of his tiny useless mind. C*&%s.

That's what I tell the feckers when they misbehave. That they'll be on the scrapheap in 5 years, be it uber or robot cars. It ups their blood pressure most pleasingly. Having said that though - some black cabbies are very courteous to cyclists. There's good ones and bad ones, and most are somewhere in between.

Gonna miss most of the England match tomorrow.

Opportunity to celebrate as far as I see that.

Knee playing up so had to stop and get off the bike. Leant it and myself against a wall, only for it to come crashing down. Lovely set of through primer dink's on the bike now :-(

You tend to care more about international football when one of your family once played for the national team.

Ah, the joys.
I'm thinking that commuting today between 3 and 4:45 should be a doddle at least!

Ooh that is a tad high had you been looking in the Rapha catalogue again? Joking aside maybe diet? Or maybe hereditary? It follows my family line, though mine isn't as of yet if ever.

As I say, I've never met him. Only the ones that behave like c*&$s and try to kill me. Hence the rant.

I hope I don't have to wait another 15 years of cycling in London to meet him though.

Rear Tortec Mudguards and BTwin Triban 540 don't match. Been running the front for a few weeks, but today's weather was enough to force the rear installation as well.
The plastic rear mudguard support can't fit under the brake set, or under the brake support strut.

dinyull

I blame wiggle.

Ordered a wheelset, received some brake pads instead.

Got in touch yesterday afternoon through the contact us bit, receive an email a few hours later. Reply to email, but it's not getting through the spam filter so instead been trying to get on live chat all morning to no avail. It's offline.

Pointless me going through contact us again as I won't be able to respond to email because of their spam filter and can't call them because they don't have a call centre.

Woop. Can they clone him and replace all the ones who've pointed their vehicles AT me over the years? Not to mention the ones who have actually hit me. Basically you could put Mother "f&*%ing" Teresa in a cab and I'd still assume she means me harm. And I will continue to until the balance of evidence I experience every day tips somewhat.

Now hoping for a link to a cabbie who cures blind orphans by singing "I've got a loverly bunch of coconuts" and who really loves his dear old Mum.

rick_chasey

In fairness, I have had two cabbies get out to try and hit me, so I have some sympathy sweary.

wolfsbane2k

Broke a mudguard bolt off when hit a pothole.
Bolt itself sheared in half. Now it's stuck in the frame. Still had 18 mile to go, so rode home with a loose mudguard :-(

Longest Day of the year.
First day of summer (according to astronomers)
So why did I have to out my bike lights back on for the commute?
This weather is pants!

Well, it is the rants thread. A proper rant is always slightly dismissive of reason.

At least the rain is warm(er).

Only a Ginger

Almost came a cropper this morning.

A small roundabout, clear for me to go straight over it...Mr Lorry driver decides to pull out (on my left). If it hadn't have been wet, making my rear wheel skid outwards he'd have hit me. It would have hurt.

The main rant - it's really affected me today, had to tell the boss who is making me get a lift home (probably for the best, but still annoying!).

rhodrich

Have just been told that I'm expected to be in the office at 6am on Friday morning to help deal with any post Brexit fall out. Grrr!
