Beautiful weather here in Calgary this morning. Don't know what the temperature is, and don't care. However I had the most embarassing spill ever today - tried to roll a curb right in front of my house, did it too fast and too far forward on the bike to lift the front wheel and ended up getting thrown off. Glad the neighborhood kids didn't see that - some of them can pull some very nice wheelies. Now there's dirt on the ass-portion of my obnoxiously colored cycling jacket. I'm also developing a sentiment that seems uncommon everywhere but here - I actually want my commute to be longer. 15 minutes just isn't enough. Too bad there aren't any more scenic areas along the way (I already go through all the ones I can).
