Commuter diaries – strange luggage

@wtjs Apparently he lives a one-hour drive from Swansea in the village of Penmark, a trip for which Uber quotes an average of £70. His basic salary, without bonuses or any kit sponsorship, international fees etc, is £12,500 a week. Should have been fined for wasting court time with such a stupid fake "hardship" claim.

"Crashed on a GoPro" isn't even close to the stupidest theory going around: saw in multiple places yesterday that it's "an open secret in the peleton" that TP accidentally took too much dope the evening before and knew he would fail the end-of-stage controls so deliberately "as can clearly be seen on the footage" caused the crash. Why he chose to smash up his head, shoulder and spine instead of just saying he had a bad tum or something and stepping off remains a mystery...

So I can't have an opinion?

Encouraging to know that not all of the Absolute Tossers Against Cyclists have remained within the UK, but this one has even arranged somebody else to do his 'I'm a cyclist myself' tripe.

I heard she thought fixies were very lower class. She was once overheard saying "let them ride Campag"

Most people know peadar is a bit of a clown and would say anything to grab votes.

@mitsky he will be interested to know there's quite a good rail service in to Swansea. It's only six months which is pretty light imo.

'This exper­i­ence has been a sig­ni­fic­ant wake-up call for me and I can assure the court that I have reflec­ted ser­i­ously on my actions and taken steps to ensure this will never hap­pen again' Perhaps the six points you already had on your licence should have been the wake up call. Also, if I'm a judge, I'm thinking not bothering to show up in court doesn't scream remorseful. You are NOT a victim here Mr Cabango.

I really enjoyed Bastie Tronchon's victory.

@the little onion It is quite galling to read that Cabango is the Swansea Captain. He is hardly setting a good example to his team mates and fans etc.
