Well, of course it was all new and different and confused every driver on the road; not to mention the fact that for us it was way more crowded on the road since we were riding home an hour earlier than normal. Needless to say we couldn't safely cross over to get to the old side of the road that was now closed off (they're widening the street) so we stayed in the skinny lane with drivers, which thoroughly either confused or angered everyone around, but I was trying to get up on the white curb to ride as opposed to the new asphalt. Forgot I had a locked out fork and skinny tires and as I tried to go up the inch gap I just crashed into the curb and dirt shoulder. Luckily no road rash, just a few scrapes and bruises.

Otherwise commuting has been fine. Legs are dying this week. Will probably have to go down to commuting 3 days a week to recover from leg day on Tuesday at the gym and get ready for riding approx. 30 miles and climbing 6000 ft. over the weekend on the mountain bikes.
