Another warm, clear morning in NC. I'm continuing to wear my arm and leg warmers and vest, despite temperatures in the low 60s in mornings. Just can't quite get used to riding bare armed and legged yet. My vest is high-viz yellow, so I wear it more for safety but pretty soon it will be too warm for it even in morning. Rode the single-speed this morning and can't believe how much faster I commute on it. It's at least 5 lbs. lighter than the touring bike I normally commute on, plus I'm forced to keep my speed up on the hills rather than gearing down. It's a nice change of pace.
