Summer's getting closer

You know summer is on the way when:

• you get to ride to work in daylight
• you get to ride home in daylight
• you need your sunglasses for both commutes
• there are more tourists hanging out on the forecourt of Buckingham Palace that you have to trundle past without running over
• the daffodil blooms look like they are about to wither and die, if they haven't already
• you notice green shoots on the trees
• there are more cyclists everywhere (where, by the way, did all these fat blokes come from?)

Total distance: 12.13 miles | Ride time: 1hr, 09min and 17sec | Average speed: 11.10mph | Top speed: 18.7mph

you know it's summer with all the short shorts and thin shirts worn by people passing by.

Kevin, the fat cyclists are everywhere right now, mostly male, mostly middle-aged and mostly riding bikes that look like they are straining under the cargo that far exceeds their maximum weight limit! (Oooo, I'm cruel)

I would love to have the problem of dodging visitors to Buckingham Palace. Sounds like a great time of year for you.
