My commute today was a bit smoother and faster than the last two days. That's because last night I realized I had installed my front wheel with the tread of my new winter tire in the wrong direction. Doh!
Pet peeve: I'm waiting for the light to change at a crosswalk and a biker comes up right before it changes and zips in front of me. Not like he's any faster than me, just impatient and a little rude. This kind of stuff from other bikers bothers me.
