We've had a lot of rain, and we may get some heavy rain this afternoon, too, but it wasn't raining this morning. I rode into work. The humidity is very high. My headwind was very strong, but it wasn't as gusty or shifty as it often is. I geared down and cruised at around 11 mph, which is slow for me. I arrived pretty sweaty, but I'm OK now.

I saw a cool cyclist behind me and got ready to take a picture. While I was waiting for her to pass, I took this shot of what my phone see when it's mounted on the handlebars.



Then she passed me. She was riding a super cool bakfiets tricycle, with her kid inside. When she turned the handlebars, the wheels leaned over towards the turn. I don't know the terms for that kind of steering.
