I patched my tube before leaving. On the way back home, I went down a rather short, steep descent 10% grade maybe?, and that light always turns red before I get a chance to go through it. Always. Well, I was in a high gear, and I thought I was going to make it, but the light starts changing at the worse possible time, so I just brake without even having a chance to downshift. Knowing the light was going to take forever to change and that a few cars would end up behind me, I dismounted my bike and manually downshifted with my hands. I gotta wonder if anyone else even does that.
