    Haha, brilliant. Especially point one... I reckon if I was actually any good at track standing, the lights wouldn't ever change...

    #15 >> me.

    Everytime I want to overtake a wobbly tourist on a Boris Bike or someone in hi-vis doing 10mph "trying to burn off the Christmas indulgence", a car appears on my offside. If it's Regent's Park, then the driver is almost always a "key worker" in a slow moving Audi barge.

    Or someone on a Specialized [...] overlapping my rear wheel...

    Really enjoyed that blog. The one about getting songs on loop in your head happens to me all the time, i think they are known as 'ear worms'. What bugs me is it is always crap music, maybe something you heard on the radio before you went out, something awful like abba or beyonce...

    When I was younger, ( i still occasionally do..) I would refuse to leave the house if I'd just heard an awful record. I'd put on the tune I wanted in my head for the rest of the morning and then head out.

    I knew I shouldn't have smiled as I read this yesterday, before I set off for home.

    I got half way home and had a explosive visit from the PF.

    That's a Marathon+ as well. I've no idea what I ran over but it pretty much chopped the tyre in half.
