Water Nightmare

When I first started this blog I remarked on how annoying the water mains replacement works were.
Now they have become more than just an annoyance and are actually causing me to risk my life in stupid daredevil moves.
Being an avid cyclist in the morning - running the gauntlet of closed down sections of road along Oxford Street is not a pleasant experience. It involves waiting for a clear spot and then cycling along the middle of the road until the barriers end and you can actually get back on your own side. If a bus is coming the other way you could end up pretty squished so some fast pedalling is required!
It is either that or take a massive detour to end up in practically the same place as you started.
Well, you have to live dangerously don't you? Life would be dull otherwise!
