Was out of town for the last two weeks so no commuting for me until today. Legs felt fresh which was good cuz I was carrying a heavier than normal load and one of the brake pads is dragging on the rim. Not too much, but enough to make noise and stop the wheel when it spins freely. The ride in was fine and the cagers mostly behaved themselves, but I did notice a couple newly dug potholes that caused some interesting bunny hop attempts while surrounded by traffic.

Slightly OT, but this past weekend, I had to walk up 13 flights of stairs w/ my wife and another couple that we didn't know due to a power outage. While my wife didn't complain, she's not a regular cyclist so her legs were really tired. As for the other couple, the man complained the whole way while his female companion complained that her legs were tired from her previous night's spinning class and that's why she was going so slow. I almost blurted out that I had ridden my fixie 20 miles the day before, but chose to just keep on climbing. After we reached our floor, I told my wife my legs felt fine and I could keep on climbing stairs. She scowled and berated me for not carrying her up the stairs if my legs felt that good.
