How do you cycle to work?

It's pretty simple really and I have the added benefit that most of the way is a cycle path. But....in the middle of my ride is a school.....nightmare. Children everywhere, no thought for the cycle path, they just stand around and chatter etc, they dawdle in the cycle path and in neither case do they move out of the way for a bicycle! So for that stretch I cycle on the road, which is also the bus lane.... strangely enough buses are not a problem, cars are....they drive in the bus lane which they should not do...and they don't like cyclist so they drive so close to the kerb you cannot get past as they sit in their queue for 20 minutes. So, today as it is now daylight going to work, I went through the park....brilliant...apart from dogs! I was chased by two dogs, who were off their leads. ..fortunately they just ran alongside and barked.

Nearer work and in town, there isn't a bike lane so I have to ride on the road, as cars are so inconsiderate I now ride in the middle of the lane and hold them all up! Not that they are going anywhere anyway as its solid queue all the way to work.
