Thursday: spotted a woman wearing short dress riding bike, blowing thru every red signal (I always caught her up gong at my own pace). A few guys were following her and also blowing thru the stop signs. At one point as I passed her and her band of admirers, one guy accerated past her and turned around to get a glimpse around the same time I was passing this bunch. The guy had a look, wobbled, I had to take an extra wide route to avoid a crash. Another guy also had a look and proceeded to fall in front of me. Luckily I avoided him too.

Friday: a larger woman riding a commuter oriented bike (I don't know what. One it was but it was definitely more pashley like that full on commuter like) was riding at a pretty quick pace which impressed me. Chatted to her for a bit, she'd been riding for a year and boughb her new bike earlier that week.

Later in the commute a nice lady cyclist was turning right at the junction (we drive on the right) so I proceeded to pass her on the left riding around 18mph when she decided to carry on going straight and blow straight into my line. Another avoided collision.

What is it thesedays, must be sun or something. Even the drivers are getting a bin pacey.
