AM commute was my first solo ride in months, because SO had a flat we didn't notice until we were ready to get out (he's been unemployed so he likes to ride to work with me). Ride was kinda hard as it was very windy, passed a car/truck crash on the last third (SO GLAD I didn't drive today). A ninja cyclist blowed me a kiss (being a girl in a bicycle sucks sometimes). And a bus decided to pass me very closely. Both things that wouldn't have happened if my SO had been riding with me.
