Yeah, I did mean inbound. And you'd think after roughly 30 years of riding down Comm Ave I'd be used to the way some drivers use Comm Ave like it's a speed way from traffic light to traffic light but I still shake my head with wonder at times. I guess I thought all those drivers would think I was such a nice law abiding cyclist and deserved a little respect-
Today's commute was rough- this whole week was a rough one for me. Smashed my right knee x-country skiing Sunday night then broke my little toe on my right foot (smashing it into my wall!!). Hit a bottle on the way in yesterday and ended up with a slow leak on the way home. Completely forgot until I went to ride in this morning and lo and behold flat!- then I had to quickly change it. But realized on my ride home tonight that the sidewall on my Nokian studded tire (after 3 seasons and about 4,000 miles) had finally begun to give out.
And man it was cold and windy riding home tonight. It was 25〫F, which at this time of year is downright tropical but tonight it felt brutal for some reason. Slow ride home.
