First cycle commute in over a week. I only worked two days last week, and didn't cycle either day. (What?! I had my reasons!) Finally swapped the studded tires for semi-slicks last night, and I sure felt faster this morning.

At a stop light, a car pulls up beside me, the window rolls down, and the driver yells, "Hey! Don't you have any brake lights?" Seemed like an odd thing to ask a guy on a bicycle. Turns out he was talking to a motorcyclist on the other side of me.
