A balmy 13F this morning, a definite improvement over yesterday's 8F. Before I even started pedaling, I got honked at. I usually step into the street in front of my apartment, next to a fire hydrant, get on, clip in and pedal off. Some woman in an SUV pulled up and double parked, waiting for me to leave my spot in front of the hydrant. After waiting a full 2 seconds, she honked at me. When I looked at her, she started motioning that she was waiting for me to leave and what was taking me so long. Last I heard, if I'm established in the spot, you can go f*ck yourself til I leave. So I motioned to the hydrant and asked if she was mentally challenged. Then I pedaled off thinking it was kind of early to be so obnoxious.

At work, a co-worker asked how the ride was. I told him it was too short and would've been nicer if it was longer. He laughed and told me to keep up the good work.
