... sometimes I'm lucky - when I leave the polluted edge-city industrial wasteland to head home through the forest I see starlings murmurating high above the pylons - free ... #artisticlicense

Patrick had the idea of a group for a Riv-only commute group, so his rig has to be in there! He also took this photo.
Details:
'03 Curt Built, Dave Altered Custom Rivendell fixed gear commuter. 69" gear with 559X1" Specialized Turbos. Low-ish bars, and I use the drops all the time for headwinds. Honjos, with World's Largest Leather Mudflap, Adam on Carradice Expedition QR mount sans hoop, Flite, Phil, Nitto, TA, MKS RX-1s, Dura Ace, Ultegra, Sun, Revolution, EOS + Spanninga + PB Superflash. The bottle is an Eleven Gear vacuum flask with sippy spout.
The green line is my usual route to work. The red line is my usual route home. I vary the route a little, depending upon the time and traffic.
(Lots of annotations; hover over with mouse to see them.)
Sigh - the commute! A neccesary evil in so many lives, including mine.
Today made doubly worse by an accident on the M53 on the way to work and with insane amounts of roadworks on all my routes on the way home from work (Kensington and the Royal Hospital).
Of course, the radio helps, but so does having a camera on me at all times - I hasten to add - I was queuing here, handbrake on if mr policeman is watching ;)
I thought this shot summed up the mood of being in a jam, with the cone being just visible in the background and I liked the bumber to bumper headlights lighting up the exhaust fumes - the 'motion blur' effect on the right comes from curved blindspot mirrors.
