Around 60 and sunny this morning, and I decided to ride my road bike in, something I've only done once before as I'm not thrilled about riding through traffic clipped in. It went fine, but overall it takes just as long with a road bike even though I can go much faster. The amount of time those short bursts save doesn't nearly make up for time spent waiting which you do on any type of bike. Maybe I saved a minute on the bridge or in the park where you can open it up. Otherwise I'm taking it easy anyway dodging pedestrians, potholes, cars, and other bikers. I stopped at the Transportation Alternatives Bike to Work day stand on the Manhattan Bridge too.
The way home I was expecting 70s, but instead the on-shore breeze had kicked in and it was windy and cool and it was 62 when I got home. I wasn't quite dressed for that as I usually put a thin layer underneath for temps in the lower 60s and I'd left it off.
