Silly Commuting Sightseeing

jimmypippa

One of the things I like about bike commutiong is the chance to get out in the open and have a couple of hours fresh air a day...


I have seen some rather impressive photos of people's commutes so I thought that I'd start a thread for any pictures that people want to add from their commute.


Here is one I took this morning at 6:30, looking back over coombs reservoir towards the the hillfort of Castle Naze, this is on my most direct route to work.




Are there car forums where pople talk (at least some of the time) about enjoying their commute?

You're just showing off. With good reason.

But where are the bendy buses??? Eh???

I don't get bendy busses, but I do get a lot of quarry lorries, as I spend about 8-miles on the A6 northbound into Manchester.

It also rains quite often (far more than the 12-times a year I've heard quoted).

Here we have pauses for sleet, snow, and hail.

London a smoke filled hellhole?

I got this half way home tonight, just past traffic filled Hammersmith:





And I got this a bit further down (I couldn't see much about five minutes later)
