Well, it has warmed up a bit here, but is still only 2 to 3°C and now it is damp - so it feels colder!
The commutes are still enjoyable - it feels good to arrive at work after a bit of healthy excercise.
Unfortunately, the council has just built a new "park and ride" car park. Actually this is a good thing for the city, but they have put it on my commuting route and built a new set of traffic lights to serve it. The main problem is that the road has now been narrowed because of an island placed for the lights, so there is more chance to get squeezed. Of course, officially, I have no reason for complaint, since there is a shared bike/pedestrian path that provides me with an alternative, but it is never cleared of leaves, branches, thorns, glass etc, so I will not use it. Call me stubborn! If this is the worst thing I have to worry about, I'm doing pretty well in life

Cheers,

Ed
