Consecutive bicycle work commute number 2306:

We had snow/ice on Friday evening/night. I didn't know when it would hit, so I rode the winter bike with studded tires. Turns out I just had rain for both my commute to work and back home, and I could have easily ridden the hybrid with fenders. The rain didn't turn to snow until my last mile on the way home. The ground was covered in snow by Saturday morning, but by that evening it had all melted away.

DST is kicking my butt a bit. Yesterday evening around 6 PM I could barely keep my eyes open, then by the time I crawled in bed at 10:30 I was wide awake. I laid there until at least 1 AM before I started to doze. This morning it felt extra dark and early when the alarm went off at 6:15.

The temp this morning was 42°F and it's supposed to push 60°F this afternoon. I decided to wear shorts for the first time this calendar year. It felt wonderful, and my messed up road bike saddle wasn't as uncomfortable as usual. I'm wondering if some of my nether region discomfort is coming from my cold weather pants?

Yesterday a friend of mine was riding his bicycle and crashed. He rides not because he's a cycling enthusiast, but because he can't afford a car. I don't know the details yet, other than he went over the handlebars. I'm not sure if he was in the street or sidewalk, or if another vehicle was involved. He normally wears a helmet, so at least there's that. He was taken by ambulance to the hospital, where they found he has a broken left wrist, and a broken right shoulder. He's having surgery today.
