The weather was great this morning. But I felt like molasses in January. I have had a week off, I spent yesterday sleeping in bed all day. And I felt slow and tired all day today. But according to Strave my time was only 30 seconds slower and 1 km/h slower. Slow and steady wins the race, almost.

I also could not figure out why my computer was not working for the first half of the ride. Then I realized when I put on my new wheels I forgot to move my magnet onto them. I am just out of it the last few days. I need to move my reflectors over also, but I knew I did not do that and was planning to do one of these days.

So as I expected Vancouver painted new lines on Kent and Cambie for bikes. They took away to ton of parking and marked a lane almost 2 car widths wide. They also marked every driveway on the east side of Cambie between Kent and Marine with green for bikes. I do not see why they did this. It is not that busy there, cars nor bikes. Then on Kent they put a really wide lane for bikes, and not the cars are going to be close. But I do not want to be in the bike lane since it will make drivers upset when I take the car lane to turn left when there is a 1.5 car width lane for the bikes. I will call the city and complain about this later.

Anyway I got to celebrate Canada Day Tuesday as a Canadian for the first time, I received citizenship Monday! But I have to work today, so I can not celebrate my homeland`s day of independence.

So happy Fourth of July to all of my fellow Americans.
