Today's my birthday, so I thought the red lights would give me a break. Not a chance. Caught nearly everyone. Our weather today is incredible for January, with lots of sun and the afternoon high expected to reach 65 F. That made is hard to dress this morning, because it was in the mid-30s when I rode to work, but I didn't want to be overdressed this afternoon. So, I was a little chilly on my morning commute.

My regular commuter bike is still at the shop, getting its new wheels installed. My mechanic would have finished the wheels Friday but the parts supplier sent him the wrong spokes. So I'm riding my De Bernardi with a large seatbag, and it's fun for a change of pace.
