Beautiful and sunny in the upper 60s/low 70s. Left work a little early yesterday to get to a dental appointment and a sunny ride. Got all geared up, snapped pannier on bike, helmet, gloves, sunglasses check. Started pulling bike away from rack...what the...?...someone had locked their bike to the rack inadvertently locking their lock through my rear rack. I was stuck! This was a lightly ridden, new bike, no fenders, barely any lights, new seat, no dirt accumulation...fair weather rider (haven't seen the bike in the cage before this day)...stymied. Had to get the transportation office to issue me an "emergency cab ride" to my appointment since by that point the bus wouldn't get me there at all. And I had to leave my bike at work so I couldn't ride in this morning. GAH! I left a nice note (really, it was nice!) on the renegade bike. Today, I received a $10 gift certificate to the coffee shop and sincere apology from the newbie, yep, a newbie. She was nice and super embarrassed and won't make that mistake again.
