Nice morning a bit cool at the start, no wind and sunny. Traffic unusually heavy, with a quarter mile backup at one point. Should be a nice ride home.

I was having problems shifting, careful examination found that the cable was frayed inside the casing, right at the bar. Considering how hard it was to get out I'm surprised the rear deraileur worked at all.

Reworked some of the connections on my rear lights on my commuter bike. Next project is to upgrade the front. To paraphrase an old quip, "What this country needs is a good 14V 7 Watt/hour LiPo battery for under $10".
