1st bike commute in several days, due to rain and after-work commitments.

Last week, I noticed after a ride that the front brake cable on my folder was rubbing against the front tire and had burned right through the plastic down to the metal of the housing. There is a big loop in the cables on this bike to accommodate folding and a front bag. I tried zip-tying it out of the way, but that put a too-sharp bend in the cable. Looking at it again, I think the cable wrap had migrated up. I moved it back down. I gave the front wheel a spin and noticed the front brake was dragging slightly too. I oiled the brake pivots, added a tiny bit of play in the cable, and tightened up one of the centering screws, and it was well again. The commute felt a bit faster on it this morning, but I guess I don't know, as I had a slight tailwind and the commute in is half downhill, half flat.

I'll lead the Moderate Monday bike ride tonight, which is pretty fast for me. The Saturday coffee ride was an easy 33 miles, and my legs feel good, so we'll see how she goes.
