An increase in foot and bike traffic on the tow path this morning meant I was cycling at the same speed next to a jogger for what felt like 5 minutes this morning.

This particular strike has made everyone realise we’re about twenty minutes away from fully automated luxury unemployment, which is fun too.

Did you start coaching them at all?

It did feel a bit Rocky at one point. Was really tempted to instigate some kind of race but there were some wobbly, brake-y bastards in front of me and I didn’t fancy my chances.

i was wondering if there would be a spike in accidents too (which would be harder to reach for emergency services)

People getting clippers or some other kind of water transport for a section of their commute. Who do you think you are, James Bond? Where do you think you are, Venice?

More traffic means more gridlock I suppose so lack of movement may cancel out the Bambi’s on wheels.

went into a different coffee shop than I usually do on my way into work (different route). Encountered a group of about 4 businessmen ordering coffee in front of me, and made the discovery that listening to businessmen order coffee is probably the worst thing in the world.

Tube strikes are one of the many, many reasons I wouldn’t live in London

tube strikes are basically like snow days though, made out of scowling rather than frozen water

My personal echo chamber is all workers solidarity tbh
Computers are workers too :sleepy:
