Ride home for Wednesday, 01 November

It looks like I may be doing another business trip up to Truro. It would have been nice to do it in summer, but I suppose I can't have everything. Given the glacial pace of the last engagement I wouldn't be surprised to be riding up there in sub-zero temperatures with studded tyres.

I also think I have found an explanation (or possibly merely a correlation) for drivers' levels of courteousness; it seems to follow the price of gas, so as it drifts downwards (as noted in the 3 month version of the Halifax Gas Prices chart) drivers are courteous and careful around cyclists, but as soon as the price starts rising some drivers start feeling resentful about being hit at the pumps when cyclists don't have to pay the same price. Not much I can do about it, unfortunately...
