I had to leave early this morning so I rode in the predawn twighlight for half the ride. It was nice, traffic was less than usual and I caught most of the lights green. I also saw two other bike commuters which is really strange. Must be the cooler morning temperatures. No flats today either. I think that the switch back to the old cheap tire with thick sidewalls is a better fit for the route I take. I am really becoming convinced that one doesn't need a car on a day to day basis if one can ride.
