Good idea standing and yelling might not be best for bike advocacy though haha. It might make people be concerned about my sanity as well.

I am not sure of the temps this morning but much cooler. It felt really good.
Glad I have multiple bikes. I rode my Scott S40 speedster to work today.

The commute this afternoon should be fantastic, with low humidity and temps for this time of year.
i am glad i drove yesterday too. it allowed me to bring what I need in so I can ride the rest of the week.
I have to take my seat off my road bike and put on the commuter for the rest of week. I feel like am forgetting something without my panniers.I ordered a saddle last night hopefully it will feel good and work out well. I did not order a Brook$ even after everyones recommendation my wife was shocked by their prices but impressed with everyones reviews. Perhaps on my next bike I will have a Brooks.
