Road Rage

Had to deal with road rage on our bike ride today. Some pickup truck was behind us and beeped his horn. The side of the road was very uneven, we didn't want to go into the ditch, and so we kept the lane, single file. He had plenty of room to pass us in the other lane if he wanted, with good visibility and nothing coming. But no, he kept his hand on the horn for another 2-300 meters. We totally ignored him until we turned as planned, down a road and he speeded past. Ignoring him was the only thing to do, but that probably wound him up. Oh well. At least he didn't drive into us.

Gold morning - I wish you a fabulous start into the week!
Cycling to work and a swim in the lake on the way. Air 11°C, water ~9°C, slight drizzle.

Wondered this morning if I skip swimming. It was OK then.

Dachte zuerst, heute das Bad auszulassen. Es war dann ganz gut.

#Scotland: #ScotRail has launched a new #Cycle Hub at Inverness station, enhancing facilities for cyclists. Funded by the #Scottish Government’s 2023 UCI Legacy #Cycling Investment Programme, the hub offers 100 additional cycle spaces and a maintenance stand for basic repairs. Located at the Falcon Square entrance and monitored by CCTV, the hub increases the station's total bike storage capacity to 148 cycles, with an extra 48 spaces added nearby.

To celebrate the opening, pupils from Culloden Academy created artwork inspired by the local area, which now adorns the hub's exterior. Additionally, a Brompton bike hire service is available, allowing rentals via the Brompton app or website.

David Lister, ScotRail's Safety, #Sustainability & Asset Director, expressed enthusiasm for the new facility, highlighting its role in promoting active travel and making cycling more accessible for commuters and leisure #cyclists.
