Yeah, me, too. Not to work... I still rode to work, but a morning doctor's appt. forced me to drive. Argh!!! I knew it was Car-Free Day, but the appt. was made two months ago and couldn't be changed. Otherwise, I would have picked a different day. The appointment made me miss the lunchtime goings-on for CFD in downtown DC, too. Dagnabit!

That's awesome! I find it hilarious that a dog is chilling out in that trailer.

Didn't ride home yesterday since I met up with my wife after work and metro'd home with her (with bike, though).

Didn't get to my rear derailleur replacement project 'til late, and ended up doing that and other assorted maintenance odds and ends till 2:30 AM! :yikes: The new derailluer runs like a champ, though. Sad to say, perhaps, but this Alivio derailleur is the best, most responsive shifting I've ever had the pleasure of enjoying. $30 well spent on that derailleur. The ride in was wonderful with the new derailleur. Just wish that summer would call and ask for its heatr back. It's amlost October. It shouldn't be mid-70s and humid in the AM anymore!!!
