made it home through 30 mph side gusts and wicked head winds
just keep pedaling just keep pedaling
was in the drops more than I expected
barely touched the vertical bar ends
these new shifters are so much better than my old friction shifters (10 spd bike)
not sure this bike is the best commuter of my 3
the frame could be bigger but it's a matter of effort and expense now, it was OK
the cones fore and aft need a slight tweak tighter
34 miles round trip, I'm beat
can't believe I have to go out soon
keep on truckin'
BTW: the flag totally gets me more courtesy clearance, I'll do anything for another inch or two
the temps were changeable - wore tights and wind pants in and tights and loose shorts home
up top wore 2 t-shirts - 1 long sleeve, and top layer was a fleece which I had to unzip and even carry on the way home, but then glad to have it for the last 8 miles
so much for aerodynamics
rechargeable AAs for front strobe are old garbage and tossed, rear super flash held up again this time clipped just to the flat edge of the rear rack - perfect fit
a little chaffed
