J'ai croisé une bonne dizaine de cyclistes sans lumières ce matin. Avec des vêtements sombres. Exclusivement des hommes mais l'échantillon n'est pas représentatif. Juste après avoir croisé le dernier dans une rue à fort trafic et sans aménagement cyclable, l'éclairage public s'est éteint. Mi-décembre à 08:00 et avec des nuages il fait encore nuit. La rue a été plongée dans le noir.
Comment tu peux te dire que les gens dans leur tank, le nez sur leurs écrans, vont te deviner dans l'obscurité ?!
A serious disruption (a fatality) earlier today has been causing chaos all over East Midlands Rail. I slipped onto a train that terminated early at Derby, stranding a whole crowd of people who wanted to go to Sheffield.
Well lucky me: Derby's where I needed to change anyway.
In the meantime: GOOD NEWS! EMR has put together an impromptu special service to Sheffield! How nice for all those passengers!
But wait a sec. Where do you think they acquired the train for that special service? That's right! My connecting train was cancelled and repurposed!
@daihard I've never heard of 'road bikes fight slow speeds' as a phrase. Does it postulate that road bikes are inherently less stable at slower speeds, as you encountered?
I think all my bikes have been one or another kind of road bike, closest I've had otherwise was a hybrid which was really just a road bike with slightly fatter tyres.
I know that when Google Maps on Android asks these crowdsourced data gathering questions they probably mean to be asking about cars, but they don't say so, and I always prefer to de-emphasize cars, so I always feel free to answer the question as though it were about bicycles instead.
And then I see this! HELL YEAH, BIGGEST IN THE WORLD! "Plenty of parking" FTW!!
