Coldest ride of year for me so far, had taken off time due to holidays etc. I coudln't find my gloves this morning so I just piled on extra layers and ended up being too hot, but with no sensation in my fingers to speak of(or toes...).

My front tire was woefully underinflated, but since my pump just broke, had to deal with the sluggish results. Thankfully I wasn't battling wind.

Then, as a nice punctuation to the morning, as I was crossing Eye Street on 16th street, I made the mistake of thinking I could get across the intersection faster than a HUGE garbage truck that was turning left. I rarely/never break traffic rules, and now I remember why. The truck, from a dead stop, accelerated and AIMED towards me, my back wheel just barely missed being clipped. It was stupid of me. Will never do it again.
