Realized I did not put brake pad on

. Put it on right away

. Ran again.
Found out computer is not working caused by wheel installed in wrong direction

. Ran back home and fixed it there

. And found out that I also forgot my helmet.
Finally sailed out.
One miles later, I started sweatting and learned that front brake pad had been always hugging wheel

. Stopped and fixed it

.
And then, guess what, every thing was fine since then. The ride was nice, no traffic, nice wheather

You'll definitley be a long time commuter. You had your first test and you passed with flying colors. Welcome to the club and may you slay all the cycling demons that plagued you today.
My commute was gorgeous today. Perfect weather. I'm a bit run down due to a head cold that's slowly finding it's way out of my body and very long days the last two weeks. But the bike ride is the best part of the day. Just a little slower than usual but oh, so pleasant. Had to book from one location to a second in order to be on schedule and that gave me a good workout.
Toodled home in the dark.
