We've had perfect weather all week, so I had my first 5-day commute week in a while. My legs are feeling pretty tired as a result because I've ridden 13 days in a row without a break (including weekends off).

I pulled a bonehead maneuver riding to work this morning, but no harm resulted. Several of the traffic lights on my route will not trip unless a car is also at the light, so I am forced to wait there indefinitely or run the light (after stopping of course). Unfortunately the light is also at the top of a blind hill so you can't see the approaching traffic until they get pretty close. I did my usual stop-and-look this morning, but then a clump of fast moving cars came up the hill as soon as I pulled out, so I was forced to ride down the center turn lane for about 1/4 mile. Not a good situation, and I really need to call the city about that light. There are two of them on my route that will not sense a bicycle, so will not change from red to green unless a car trips the sensor.
