My friend met me near my apartment today and we rode the opposite direction from work to go to our local Bike to Work day event. A local restaurant catered breakfast and they had a bike shop out there tuning up bikes. Very low key but fun. Then we rode to work. The only downside is I am still getting used to these MKS Touring Lite pedals. They have sharp ridges on them for grip and when I dismount poorly, my calf hits the pedals and I get huge scrapes. Almost drew blood.
