Today I went for a short ride to the store, turns out they do not have bike racks at the big NEX here, so I just locked up to a pole. Then, everyone gave me funny looks from all my clicking and clacking through the store. Afterwards, I was outside having a smoke, discovered I have a dent on my downtube. I have no idea how or when it happened, but it is a relatively small dent.

Also, sometimes, I really hate base policy. Police told me I have to wear a safety belt at night, as well as a brightly colored shirt during the day, for visibility. I have never seen anyone wear either. I had lights on my bike. I usually wear my Metro or Ortlieb, which are both bright yellow, but I wasn't doing any major carrying today, so I didn't bring it. Guy told me I had to walk my bike to my destination from the gate. **** that, I walked around the corner, hopped on my bike, and continued about my way. Ugh, so dumb sometimes.
