Cycle commute 1:00:00 [3] 4.0 mi (15:00 / mi)
Plantar fasciitis excruciating today. Need to use the splint more often. Not many more cycle commutes left - 2 weeks to go. Can't say I'll miss it. I am hoping to be able to enjoy morning jaunts on arthurs seat instead.
An altercation with a pedestrian on the aqueduct on the way home. She was blocking my way as I was cycling and she thought I should be walking. I had stopped for her (as I do for all pedestrians) and got pretty much entirely out of her way, which you can only properly do if you are sat on your saddle. Anyway, she was giving me crap about how I had to walk, I couldn't ride etc, and I said the signs were only advisory, as proven by a recent court case blah blah blah. At which point she called me a fucking stupid cow and moved off. I was smiling and pleasant throughout, which I think wound her up even more. There were at least 10 other cyclists cycling on the aqueduct at the same time, not all of which were prepared to stop for pedestrians, and some of them were going full pace, so why pick on me? Maybe it's cause I don't look aggressive enough. I need to work on adopting my grumpy 'race face' for cycling too.
