Nice, but slow, commute home. I took a slightly different route just for fun. It worked out pretty well, with the only sticky part crossing New York Avenue at 5th Street NW. It wasn't too bad, once the cars stopped (red lights don't mean stop here).

No riding tomorrow. Last week when I was pumping up my tires, the valve stem broke. The tire has been holding air, but I pump up my tires every week, and I can't do that with only half a valve stem. I went to changing tubes tonight, only to discover that the tube I've been carrying around with me has a Schrader valve, whereas my rims take only Presta. I guess the bike shop sold me the wrong tube and I didn't notice. At least I didn't get stuck with a flat and that tube.

Next ride-bike to work day. I'm a bit apprehensive with all these one-day cyclists on the roads. But I appreciate their efforts and perhaps some will join the regular commuter ranks.
