Yesterday (Wednesday), the weather forecast said rain from 3pm through the night and into morning. It looked like it might be heavy. I took an e-bike from Citi Bike -- I call it Cit-E-Bike) to the college so I could come back on the subway if I chose. I went to attend the the graduation ceremony my cohort were in. I am staying in the program for one more semester because I have one more course to take (Practicum). It was joyous to hear their names and to see them walk across the stage. There were some nice speeches. When we were all let out onto the street, it was raining very lightly. I only found two of my classmates (of about 20) but oh well. I was able to hug them and chat briefly.

I did end up taking the subway back. Maybe it would not have been miserable if I had ridden but what the heck. Actually, I took a subway down to Union Square and shopped a bit at Whole Foods. I took a crosstown bus the rest of the way.

I looked at my GPS tracks from my ride. My heart rate did vary on that ride similarly to how it does on an acoustic bike but with lower highs. Interesting. My travel time was cut short by only a minute or two which doesn't surprise me.
