Mid-November in SoCal, and it's still so warm; 73 deg F at 9 in the morning. So I get to continue to bike in shorts.

I did a stupid thing today. I overstuffed my messenger bag with too much weight. When I was approaching the entrance of my office I unclipped my right foot and my overweight messenger bag shifted left causing my bike to lean left. Oops, can't put my right foot down. Struggling to unclip left foot with chance that I can recover from the fall. Failure. The outcome was a slow speed drop resulting in a few scuffs on my knees and elbows; no blood though.

I guess the good part was that no one in the office saw my embarrassing accident. At least no one came out to ask me about it.

My first scuffs on my bike though. Levers and rear tire quick release.

And my new rack comes in tomorrow from the Brown Santa Claus. Aiy! It's a sign.
