I had the most interesting commute so far yesterday... First I put my front wheel into some kind of drainage ditch/gutter thing and CRASHED in the middle of rush hour traffic. It was at the bottom of a huge hill and I'm pretty sure at least a few dozen people saw it happen. I may have cracked a rib, but I'm not sure, although my helmet definitely prevented a concussion... I hit the ground hard.

On the plus side, though I stopped at the LBS to drop the bike off to get tuned up. The spill knocked the wheel out of true and some stuff on the handlbars were jarred loose. They fixed it right there on the spot because I'm a commuter! The guy explained that if you use your bike for transportation they'll take care of you instantly. Do most shops do that?

Lastly I'm fairly sure I got my first 'Go Lance!' yelled at me for the first time, which was pretty cool. But I'm not sure because all i heard was "....ANCE!" as she drove by. Maybe it was "I want in your pANTS!" or "I like my eggs sANS ketchup!"
