It's been a couple of weeks, but finally back on the bike. Chilly commute this morning. I took a shortcut, a dirt trail better suited to fat knobbies than 28mm touring tires pumped to 80psi, but I made it okay. Spun out and stalled on one climb, and had to lift my bike over a couple of fallen trees.
On the way home, an impatient bus driver started passing me, then had to gun it to get past so he could pull over for a stop...except that he failed to see a pedestrian in a crosswalk until too late. Thankfully, the pedestrian noticed the bus about to mow her down and backed off, so no collision, but man, was that driver ever stupid.
