some nice commutes so far this week- yesterday was the double commute-ended up with a total of 38 miles.

today just the usual 20 mile round trip but broke it up by picking up a zipcar for 2 hours to transport a bunch of stuff. If you haven't used zipcar and it's available I highly recommend it.

Today was amazing going down Commonwealth Ave. by BU. I stopped at the traffic light at the BU Bridge and was surrounded by 8 other commuting cyclists before the light changed. Between the door zone and the construction on this road it's astounding that it's so crowded but it sure was nice to not feel quite so alone on the commute.

the commuter now has about another 6000 miles on it since last year at this time and it's starting to show. It needs new jockey wheels, a new chain, new front brake blocks. It's wild to feel myself wearing out the bike!
