I didn't ride between home and work at all last week for various mundane reasons, though I did several short trips on Citi Bike.

I rode my new bike in today. I finished it last night. This morning, it was 30ºF and quite windy. wunderground claimed the wind was from the north, but I got lucky, and that appeared to be untrue. It was pretty shifty, so I had some headwinds but not for long. I wore my new snowboarding helmet, and it has proven to be a very wise purchase. I've never been sufficiently warm with a hat under my bike helmet. This does the trick.

Here's my new bike, a 1974 Raleigh International. I built it mostly with vintage components. I built these wheels in around 1983. The bike is a blast. It is light and nimble.
