Yesterday at lunch I had a new experience. We had a lunch meeting in another part of town so rode to the train station wearing Docker shorts and an Izod shirt. When we got to our stop we rode about 1/3 mile to the restaurant.
After lunch we got back on the train and my boss couldn't get his bike free for our stop (he had it locked with a handicap restraint so it wouldn't roll around) so we ended up going to the next stop. Ended up riding thru a crappy section of town. I hit a pothole (didn't see it - I was watching a car that passed me really close). Had a front blowout two blocks later. Put in a new tube and continued on to work.
Let's see, two bad no-nos:
- riding in semi-dress clothes
- missing our stop and riding thru the wrong part of town


But the ride home was awesome. Just missed the afternoon rain by 10 minutes.
