It's a lovely day. It's bright and cool and crisp. People on the bike path were pretty bundled up, but I wasn't. I kept my hat and jacket and mittens in my pannier. I wore a lightweight merino wool t-shirt and a dress shirt over that. I wore summer cycling gloves.

Last night, I continued with my bike renovation. I installed a front rack instead of the rear rack I had on previously. This made it necessary to rewire my lights and attach the headlight to the rack in a novel way. It had been attached to the fork crown. I pulled all the wiring forward so it could reach the headlight in its farther-forward position, so I had to splice an extra length of wire going to the tail light. In case any of my wiring failed, I brought a spare battery powered headlight. The lights held up on the trip into work this morning.

Just before I got to work, my front wheel broke a spoke. The first spoke broke 8 weeks ago, so it's time to rebuild this wheel. I had to open the front brake and finish the trip with just the rear brake. Maybe I'll ride home on the front wheel from my office bike and fix this wheel at home.
