first chance my wife and I have had to ride in together in ages. it was fantastic. who'd think riding 11mph could be so much fun. it felt like we were on vacation instead of riding to work. The ride home was great even though I was solo. it's fun riding home in the dark. so far the bike path has been manageable- people have been sharing the path pretty well- I've now, of course, jinxed it and it'll be nothing but people standing in the middle of the path having conversations whilst their dogs stretch their leashes to their limit across the path tomorrow.
