Missed free bike tune-up day on campus thanks to the No-Bikes policy on the T

Feels like I've gained a ton more confidence on my bike in the past couple weeks. Drivers in Malden are also (so far) very respectful and awesome about sharing the road. I was even able to take the lane and then merge over into ANOTHER lane when some construction work came up that was blocking the shoulder and one lane of traffic. Not a big deal for most people but it was the first time I've done something like that, and I didn't even think twice about it. A month ago I would've been scared sh****** to do it!

I'm anxious for this heatwave to pass. Haven't been going out on fun rides on weekends or evenings because it's just too hot.
