Late start. Beautiful and sunny. The foliage hasn't dried out to summer gold yet. Still too cool in the morning for shorts and jersey. I wore my khakis over... hadn't done that in a while, have been using Levi's commuter jeans that are slimmer. So I forgot my cuff clips. Oops, yuck!

35F and sunny. Rode w/ my wife to her job so that was a good start. Although slower so I was colder...

On the right side of freezing (barely) and low winds. Had a young lady ask if she could draft me, which was fine, but next time I looked back after a hill I didn't see her anymore. No one has ever asked before; this was a nice change.

Looks like I correctly called this one. It's pouring here right now, with plenty of lightning and thunder in the area. I would have still been riding had I taken the bike.

Forecast for tomorrow shows low percentages for rain. That should work.

My goodness, today was just absolutely darn near perfect. This morning it wasn't dark when I left at 6, about 68 degrees, only had to stop at one traffic light, cooperative motorists, and only a very light headwind. This afternoon it was warm but not too much, again only had to stop at one traffic light, had a nice tail wind, and no problems for motorists. And I was wearing my Performance Ultra bibs which are supremely comfortable compared to all my other shorts and bibs. I seriously couldn't have asked for a better day to ride, I think.

Only hiccup was my Strava failed to start when I left the office this afternoon, so I used my bike computer's stats to enter the ride manually. Oh well.

The commute in this morning was a nice uneventful ride with the temp at 30f degrees when I left the house.

45 degrees with a slight North wind. Borderline shorts and T-shirt weather, but not quite cold enough for a jacket, IMO.

Nice ride nonetheless. Although, I must admit, my arms, ears and face are still feeling a bit of the chill. Beats overheating.

I had no idea Levi's made commuter specific clothes. Interesting. When I had a shorter commute and wore my work jeans or pants, I just rolled them up 80's style to prevent chain suck.

A pleasant ride in this morning. About 65F and overcast. I've been able to add a couple of miles each day this week, so may hit a weekly high for the year if I keep it up.

This morning was 40 degrees, lots of rain and a stiff cross wind. To make matters worse I seem to have contracted a mild cold. My wife was trying to convince me to drive but I explained that I would just sit at work sulking about not riding. She doesn't understand it. Not sure I do either, but that's what I would have done had I taken the car.

I do need to look into getting a decent pair of rain pants. I just wore some old sweats over my work pants. They're not exactly water resistant, but they got the job done in a pinch. By the time I arrived they had soaked up a fair amount of moisture but kept most of it off my pants.

I am glad that right before I walked out the door I threw a spare pair of socks in my bag. My feet were pretty wet by the time I got to work.

Was about 32F when I left my apartment.

Giving my new Trek ALR 5 its first ride to work lol. Was a good morning commute with usual traffic along the way.

Just that, I had to store my bike at a storage cube since we're interviewing people in the office.

Can't really complain since no one gave me flak for keeping my bike at my cube for a year

Sunny and chilly this morning.

I usually commute on a fixie equipped with a front brake, which I have no intention of removing; nonetheless, I have been training myself to slow down and stop using only my legs. I thought I was doing pretty well. This morning, I got cut off by a driver making a lane change, and I instinctively grabbed the brake. That was the first time I'd touched the brake in several commutes. Guess I haven't trained that instinct out yet. Not that I necessarily want to, I just found it interesting.

I took Monday off from work as a vacation day, since my wife and I were having so much fun in the sun at our house upstate. Friday I had left my Lemond at work. Yesterday, I should have remembered and brought my cycling clothes so I could ride it home. OK, today I remembered, and the weather is grand. I'm looking forward to it.

my starter went out on my car this past Sunday...which means commuting to work on my bike all week longggg! I love it

Johnny Mullet

It was 35 degrees this morning, but the sun was shining and it was worth it for the much warmer (51 degree) ride back after a long day at work.

essiemyra

Another chilly commute this am, with the temp at 34f degrees, but a nice uneventful ride.

Nice! I'm hoping to cycle with my wife too, but she wants to wait until the near- or sub-freezing mornings pass, I don't blame her.

I forgot to post yesterday but essentially the weather has been similar for the past few days, sub-freezing mornings (-1 to -5C/30 to 23F) but clear and sunny (but not enough sun to make it warm obviously).

This morning's commute was a bit better because 3 of the 6 streets I cycle on had been swept clean of winter dirt/sand so I can move away from traffic a bit more but the worst streets have yet to be done.

I was thinking on the way in about selective amnesia because for the past couple of days, I've been "complaining" about sub-freezing temperatures but not the worst of the weather conditions, headwinds, the last couple of mornings. Now that I've spoken about it, maybe the headwinds will go away (I'm not buying lottery tickets on it though).

65F and a bit humid here in NC. I left a few minutes early and added a couple of miles for 15 total.

I saw a Google street view car a couple of weeks ago while I was biking home. Some searching shows it takes about 6 months before those are online. I hope I can remember to go look for myself.

53F and rain. Sometimes riding in the rain is fun, sometimes it's just getting wet

39 degrees, rain and windy. Pretty much a carbon copy of yesterday.

Because of my slight cold I took a 1/3 shot of Nyquil last night before bed. Zapped me pretty good (I'm a medical marvel when it comes to my low tolerance to medications.) By the time I crawled in bed I wasn't aware enough to remember to turn on my alarm. Thankfully when my wife came to bed she noticed and turned it on for me. Then when it rang this morning I turned it off without even realizing it, and kept on sleeping. Once again my wife came to my rescue and poked me about 15 minutes later. I thought maybe the ride to work would have pulled me out of the fog, but I arrived just as groggy as I was when I got out of bed. Hopefully this will pass soon otherwise I'm in for a long day.

I hope you never lose the reflex of using your brake. Your legs will never brake as well as a caliper.

I rode home yesterday. Man, it was cold. I was wearing a short sleeve jersey and shorts. I pedaled a little harder to make my own heat, and that worked.

I decided to take it easy today, as I only managed to get about four hours of sleep on Tuesday night. I didn't feel tired yesterday, but I do today.

I had my first appointment with a podiatrist this morning to address my bunions. The left foot is bad, and she confirmed that the bunion in my left foot is the cause of my pain. I've been suffering for years. She said I can expect it to get worse. She didn't push the surgery option, but it seems like the best one for me, because I don't want to decrease my activity, I want to increase it. It's been hard to ride for more than an hour, and sometimes the pain comes on much sooner. I got a cortisone shot, so I might have a good ride tomorrow. Or it might hurt tomorrow, in which case, I won't ride.

Commutes have been fantastic lately, the weather is absolutely perfect for it. Lots of commuters out, too!

Strangely, I’ve seen a guy rocking a balaclava mask most every day--maybe he’s a ninja commuting to wherever ninjas work.

joeyduck

I have been wondering about you the other day. The days a gorgeous and the numbers along Ontario Street are high. I think that I saw that guy the other day too, I remember how strange it was with how great the weather has been.

ThermionicScott 

Sounds like me on a full dose if I haven't taken it in a while -- it doesn't seem to completely clear my system until 10-12 hours later.

mr geeker

Drizzly, but only in bursts, followed by light sprinkling for the last mile. Other than that, same as usual.

whosmatt

It was windy. My afternoon commute is about 12 miles, the first 4 west, the last 8 south along the beach, and today it was gusting 20 or so from the southwest. I can handle the extra work, but I feel deaf from the wind in my ears after that.
