Hotter this morning, sweat in eyes. There was a motorcycle accident that closed my usual route to cars. I simply dismounted and walked past it on the opposite sidewalk bringing a 5 minute detour down to 2. I have been trying out cycling shorts for the past two days(on the recommendation of my boss's boss) and think they actually are cool enough to stick with (as opposed to the cotton shorts I was wearing). I took it a little slower this morning and found I only pulled in a few minutes later as I still managed to catch about the same number of lights. I think the magic speed is between 18.5 to 20.5 mph on the street I ride.
