The days are also tougher on the legs since I stand most of the time and walk a lot, so the bike ride was thouger for the first 2 or 3 weeks, but now it's fine.
I also had to take a week off the bike because I fell on a saturday night 3 weeks ago: I was coming back from one of my friend's place at around 9 pm, when it was getting darker but not completely dark and there was a big log straight across the bike path, I'm sure it was pure sabotage, when I saw it I was too close to stop so I stumbled over it and badly scrapped my right shoulder, elbow and knee, the helmet was badly scratched as well so I replaced it. I may have seen it earlier if I would've been sober... (had a few cold one) and if had I tought about bringing my headlamp... But still there some dumba** who tought it would be funny to put a big log across the bike path at night, it cost me a front wheel...
