Bikes: Sun Miami Trike - 2007

Today I took my upgraded trike and biked to work. The morning commute was fine. It's getting to be like a normal routine.

I'm cycling a little faster and using snatches of road rather then staying soley on the sidewalk now.

I'm breaking in a new saddle and although I was pretty uncomfortable during the weekend, I was a little less sore today.

Cycling back home was a trip though. I rode in the rain. My first time.

I rode slowly but not slow enough it seems. I actually tipped over. Oddly enough it wasn't the rain that made me tip over. It was those damn flying love bugs that are out in force in Florida now. Ugh! Nasty things.

I had on a yellow puncho for the rain and those bugs went for it like a cheap hot sheets motel. Every five minutes I was swatting them away from me and the puncho. Yuck!!!

My little accident happened while I was swatting one very amorous couple away from my face, I hit the side of a curb a tad too hard. BANG!!

So, beyond being sore from the new saddle, the rain, the flying copulating bugs and the tipping over, my commute was strangely ok. I can hardly wait to do this all tomorrow.
