that's a pretty crappy morning for a bike commute in mid-june. it felt like october or something.
My route home is north and I just couldn't bear riding into 18-20mph winds yesterday... I took the bus home! This morning it was 47F when I left (yeah that's a "4") but the sun's back and winds are light. All's right with the world again.
There was a group of hand-crank trikes at a street crossing this morning. It's impressive to see folks who ride without the use of their legs.
