Midwest weather, gotta love it.

Happy Bike to Work Week everyone! Another Midwesterner here, similar crazy weather. It was about 40* this morning after being 90* 2 afternoons last week. I got started about 15 minutes late this morning and had a bit more traffic to deal with, including school buses by a local high school.

One of the lights the crosses a very busy street this morning would not be triggered by my bike, so after waiting 2 light cycles I finally had to cross at a crosswalk and then hop off the sidewalk back in to the street. All in all it was a nice ride, with beautiful weather. I still need to get a mirror.
