A cool 9C/48F this morning, and breezy enough that I had to pedal down a long, gentle hill to keep my speed up. Lots of leafy debris on the trails and some roads due to a hailstorm that blew through yesterday. Thankfully I worked from home yesterday, or I would have been caught in the storm.

I was reflecting this morning about how uneventful this commuting year has been in terms of interactions with drivers - I don't think I've been honked at or yelled at, no panic stops to avoid hooks, etc. all year. Then some idiot made a close, fast pass, and I lost all faith in humanity.

I'm a bit bummed this morning because there was a sign posted by the racks where I park my bike from someone whose bike had been stolen from there recently. Just a reminder that nowhere is really safe.
