Pleasant Evenings Commute
View Full Version : Pleasant Evenings Commute
Hi all Having reclaimed the bike from its surgery at the LBS I had a pleasant hours ride to work
yesterday evening for my 6pm to 3 am shift. I don,t normally cycle at peak evening hate (TM Guy)
hour so I especailly enjoyed the 2 mile section with about seven sets of lights where I could pass
the cagers sitting nose to tail in their traffic jam. The highlight was passing the hatchback with
"sports" body kit fitted and baseball cap wearing yoof driving. On seeing a cycle overtake his jaw
dropped and he instinctively accelerated before thinking "DOH" and remembering the car going at
waling speed 10 feet in front of him. Then rode home a 3.30 am. Only saw two or three cars on the
road. Got within 10 feet of a deer before it saw me and scarpered. Cars who needs them. Iain C

I think the true origin of this is the two minute hate in George Orwell's 1984. Whether Guy was the
first to use "morning hate" and "evening hate" for the rush hours, I don't know. He's certainly the
first one I'm aware of.

The phrase actually originated during the First World War. Attacks were most often launched at dawn
or dusk, the customary "morning" and "evening hate" referred to the heightened state of alert in the
trenches at these times:

aviation. Ahem. :-)

Thanks for that; I had not heard that before. Now I have to wonder whether that was the source for
Orwell's hate.

I was aware of the morning and evening stand-to but not this name for
it. Now I think about it it's typical squaddie humour. Had a quick look at the web site quoted. Now
on my favourites list. Iain

I can imagine you reading engrossed in Biggles. Bit short on interesting stats though.

It is a great site, isn't it. Almost entirely maintained by one person!
