so happy to be a bike commuter today. I had gone all winter in all kinds of weather. Often completely alone on the bike path but not anymore. Hundreds of other people out riding. Bit of a territorial imperative about sharing my ride with so many others but at the bottom line I am thrilled about it.

ended up with about a 30 mile round trip today as I went from one location to another. part of my ride today took me on the Minuteman Bike path, which was mobbed with cyclists of all kinds mixed in with joggers and strollers. It's a relatively wide path and it seemed that people were sharing it responsibly for the most part.

Came home in the dark through quiet neighborhood streets in Arlington, Belmont, Watertown and Waltham. Very cool ride home.
