It was rather a nice ride today, and no one tried to kill me, some even moved out of my way for me. :D

or is it funny camera angle?

Know the feeling, as mine only goes up the Old Kent road most of the time have very large chicken strips as a 100 yard blast before you hit the next set of lights doesnt give you much chance of leaning the bike over. Funny though because I come home on a different route to which I go to work the left side is smaller than the right side.

That happens to me too - left side is more worn that the right due to different routes to and from work. I'm working on increasing my speed round a couple of 90 degree right handers to even them up.

My chicken strips have "regressed". They were worn down a bit, but the mud/road grime of winter has formed a new "how far you lean over" marker, even though the chicken strip underneath that gunk is lower. :(

I hope there's tyre cleaner in my big bucket of Wurth cleaning stuff that I should be getting from my Bike subscription :D
