The thermometer on my house said 8C, which is below 50 American degrees. It's that time of year where I forget how to dress. I just wore a t-shirt and shorts as usual. I've been sitting in the office now for >15 minutes and my arms are still cold to the touch. Otherwise a decent ride on the fixie.

Last week, when I was riding my fixed gear, I noticed the chain was a little floppy. Thursday morning, I took the time to make the necessary adjustment. This is simple, routine maintenance that I have done many times before. I didn't search online how to do it, I didn't mention it to anyone, verbally or in writing (until now). I just did it. On the weekend, I was scrolling though AI-curated articles recommended for me on the Google app, and it showed me an article about the proper way to tension a chain on a fixed gear bike. Freaky! I know our phones are constantly watching and listening, and all of our online interactions are being tracked, but there is no way my phone (which was tucked away in my backpack) nor anyone else could have known I adjusted my chain on Thursday.
