It's 50 freakin' degrees! Also a headwind. I got to work feeling half-wilted. I should have worn shorts. The gloves were definitely overkill, too.

I reeled in a guy on an MTB and rode with him (back a few yards) most of the way in. He kept me energized through the headwind. Last night I think someone was trying to reel me in but never got close enough. All I saw was a dark blob in my mirror, far behind.

The warm weather has brought out some silliness amongst the cycling and pedestrian set, I've noticed. Last night it was dusk and some guy wearing a black hoodie pulled over his head enough to obstruct his peripheral vision, head down, yakking on a cell phone, jaywalked in front of me. I went behind him and watched in my mirror as his head snapped right to see what I was.

Immediately after that I was surprised by a ninjacyclist riding against traffic. He, of course, saw me long before I saw him, and hugged the curb on his left (my right.)

This morning I reeled in and passed a guy riding an old beater road bike. Dark clothes. He was sort of "taking his half out of the middle", so to speak, but there was enough room for me to pass safely. I opted not to announce myself. As I was passing, he says to me, "On your left?" I'm sorry dude, but get a mirror and keep right if you're so easily intimidated by people passing you. Sorry if I'm ranting. It just bugged me.
