Temps right around freezing and no wind. Nice ride. Left earlier than usual and had a very dark start.

The last few commutes, I've taken a geared bike after riding nothing but fixed gear for the last 2 months. I've noticed a couple of interesting side effects from extended exclusive fixed riding. First, I'm afraid to coast. My leg muscles twitch every time I start coasting because they're expecting to be kicked back into motion. Second, I don't bother shifting anymore if it's not absolutely necessary. Even with a 2X10 drivetrain, I leave it in one gear for the whole trip and just power up the hills. I know, I'm not riding optimally, but on a 13km commute, I don't think it matters.
