I was probably 20 on this day. I arrived early for my job at a store when I realized I forgot to change my shirt. I started riding home but my rear wheel jammed with a loose axle nut. I walked back to the store and bought a wrench. The ride home was much slower than the ride to the store, with a slamming and very cold headwind. I stopped at various businesses to go in and warm my hands. At the end of the three mile ride I called to say I would not be at work that day, two hours late in a four hour shift. Later I upgraded my gloves to leather mittens.
