Have a shot, the commuter cup is my life. I jumped the pack today on royal pde taking off from the lights then straight into the big ring and out of the saddle. Had to stop my self from taking my hands off the bars when I crossed Grattan.

On topic, the most likely place for me to get honked on my commute is when I’m coming down that hill on elizabeth towards victoria and change lanes into the right lane so I can keep going straight through. The zebra crossing is a life saver and lets me get ahead of the cars so they notice me coming out of the roundabout.

In the commuter cup, EVERY traffic light is a stage win…

I miss my city commute. The bike path along the Yarra (Sth side) was always good for a sprint, especially when heading into a strong sou’westerly. First to the rowing sheds could claim victory!
