This morning was my first cycle commute since the end of November. Nice to be back on the saddle! About -2C this morning. The thaw/freeze cycle around here has made much of my route pretty icy, but no mishaps, thankfully. This afternoon will be soupy/slushy.

I didn't realize my bicycle was manufactured by Toyota. That is, I managed to get a layer of ice on my rims or something, rendering my brakes completely ineffective. I had to drag my foot on the ground a couple of times to stop.
