Well I'm now on my second week of commuting to work....
Traffic was light this morning, pedestrians and cars and bobcats...
Not sure if it was my rear tire tune up over the weekend or some new found strength, but I averaged 15.3mph to work and 15.4mph back on my 11 mile each way commute. Ahead of my 15mph goal, which I thought was aggressive given the dozen or so stop lights I have to manage.
My 15+ year old crank is starting to make this awful creaking noise.

Need to investigate. I hope it's rebuildable.
