Bikes: Alan Record (Vintage, Yo!), more soon...

My commute is pretty variable, but as I lack a cyclometer, it's hard to say just how far I go at what speed. I try to go absolutely everywhere on my bike - school, library, friends houses, coffee shops, and wherever else I need to go in a day. Going by averages, I'm probably on the bike nearly an hour every day.

While I lived in Italy, I rode with friends who had cyclometers. I averaged about 25km/h then - to the best of my knowledge, I'm as fast if not a bit faster now. So, call it 25ish km per day, average. What's that, 15ish miles?

Tuesday's commute left me with a flat tyre (I later removed something that looked like a bristle from a wire brush). To my embarasment, I had left my spare inner tube at home, so I bussed it.... Yesterday, we had freak hailstorms, which sucked alot (25mm Michelins on ice = no good at all). Today's rides haven't happened yet (more on them later, I suppose.)
