excellent weather today. it rained overnight and as early as this morning. by the time i started riding, there was only rain on the ground. so glad to have my SKS raceblade fenders. kept me totally dry!.

i may have to stop using the brooklyn bridge in the mornings. it's still empty but there's construction at the two pedestrian lookouts forcing everyone into a tiny space. and this morning i also saw a homeless man with his cart of probably his life's stuff blocking the entire pedestrian walkway while walking around looking totally confused - this is around the part on the manhattan side where people squeeze by the stairs right before park row.

this is right after i saw police in golf carts blocking the paths on the bridge and snoring in the golf carts. they are not really watching for terrorists so i really don't know what they're doing there.

after getting off the bridge, i called 911, then called 311, then 911 again. they went to go escort him off 40 minutes later but it seems by then he was gone. or...they weren't looking in the right place. sigh. why i try to be a good citizen, i don't know. The calls were really frustrating where the first person on 911 said that's a 311 call. and the people at 311 said they can't do anything and that i should call 911. i called 911 again and they finally took down the info. in any case. i saw people trying to talk to the police in the golf carts then later realized why they probably were talking to them. of course they don't do anything b/c it's not their jurisdiction or responsibility. whatevz. so annoyed this morning at the system.

yesterday's commute was easy breezy. i voted (participatory budget). and i went to a maintenance class on derailleurs and shifting which was really interesting. all while riding home from work. was awesome

btw. excited to pull off what footage i may have captured with the cycliq fly6 light/camera i got this wk. excited!!!
