Beautiful day for a ride! 40-50F this morning on the way in, heavy traffic, but few peds, so I spent some time on the sidewalk. Saw 2 other bike commuters this morning, shared light conversation at a couple of lights. Took less time to ride to work than it normally does to drive. I love being able to go around construction and being able to lock up right on the pier instead of having a 15 minute walk from the parking lot! The ride home was a little more difficult, as I had more hills, but they all are the very beginning, except for a long mild grade going up 303, almost 1.5 mile long hill. Ran into several older people on bikes, and one guy that didn't speak English. Almost hit a trash can avoiding a right hook into a parking lot, but made it through without a scratch. I broke a reflector off of my right pedal on a curb, but that's not a big deal. Pedals with toe cages are in order soon.
