Pretty good ride today! Though I felt like I was fighting with my bike through most of it. When I got to work I checked it over and noticed the rear wheel had slipped enough in the dropouts to rub with the brake pads. Straightened it out and am ready for the next ride! Probably no ride home today, as the wife and myself and work friends are doing happy hour. Wife does not like to drive home after that. Yesterday afternoon was an enjoyable ~5 mile ride on my singlespeed through campus, which happened to be move in day. Stupid college has 4 sets of gates that for the last few weeks they had right, and now are wrong. I drew a rudimentary map, not to scale.



Gate 1 and Gate 4 stop cars from going through that part of campus. The bike lane also goes around the gate. I'm not really sure what the point of Gates 2 & 3, but they interfere with the bike lane, forcing you to hop onto the sidewalk. Ideally, Gates 1 & 4 should be shut (the university decided to keep them shut all the time now), and 2 & 3 should be open. It was never right last spring, and a few weeks ago they finally got it right. Only to mess it up again....sigh.
