First day back commuting in a while. My wheels needed to be trued badly and I never had time to get to the bike shop. I finally had a friend true them and it made a world of difference. My dad had the day off and rode in with me. It was nice having company. At an intersection we heard a dog barking. We turned to see where the dog was and found it in the yard of the house on the corner... with another dog getting it's morning jollies. We ended up getting honked at. We typically ride side by side on the big streets as they are wide and there isn't much traffic. When I passed the guy that honked, I noticed the fire fighter sticker just as he drove by and gave me the bird. The ride home was uneventful for which I am thankful.
