Good on you, Tom. Good juju will come your way. I wished someone did that for me time before last. But it was in Ft Lee, NJ so a little less cycling traffic there. I ended up walking the bike about a mile down Ft Lee Rd hill to my car. My mini-pump was not working as well as I wanted it to. Replaced it with a Cannondale model and it seems to work ok so far.
Today's commute was a-ok. Just missed the morning rain. So only had wet roads. This afternoon should be glorious.
Good days for riding!
Just replaced my brake shoes with some new Kool-Stop salmon ones. Now have a little more piece of mind now that the brake pads are about twice a thick as they were...
