Encountered my first really rude driver in quite a while. As I was approaching a traffic signal, a car came up behind me and the driver honked while passing me, apparently because I slowed her down by about 1 second. She then got caught by the red light and totally wigged out, flipping me birds and waving her arms and totally freaking out like I had caused the light to turn. She would have missed the light whether I had been there or not, but that didn't seem to matter. It was kind of funny, actually. I kept a good distance.

Had my first flat in over a year while riding home yesterday afternoon. I picked up a big nail in my rear tire, which instantly flatted the tire, but it fortunately did not damage the rim or the sidewalls. I was aiming for a new personal best commute time, but the flat sort of destroyed my will, but I still ended up with a fast time for the day -- but alas, no record.
