16 Celsius. Nice weather.
I got a rack yesterday so I was able to go without a backpack today. It was awesome! Except the bag kept rubbing the wheel. I got a strip of cardboard for the way home to give the rack a 'bottom'.
There's this steep hill with a fairly sharp turn at the bottom. I must have been going minimum 30MPH but I was slowing down enough to make the turn - just. Except there is this 'fold'/bump in the pavement! It threw me off, I hit the curb (nearly parallel to it, but not quite) and went tumbling. Ouch! I'm real glad I bought biking glove, too, yesterday! Otherwise my hand's be rubbed raw. As it was, the bike is OK, the U-Lock lost a bit more rubber coating and the pin on my watch is busted. I need to repair my watch... I feel so naked without it!
