Like several others have mentioned, it was a nice cool morning (61F) for my commute. Got to watch a beautiful sunrise as well!

71F and low humidity. Oh hell yes! I felt a big difference from the past few weeks. Lovely commute this morning. My right knee is feeling better. Its been about two weeks since I smacked it in a small accident. Only time it hurts is when I kneel down and stay on my toes. Also trying out a new Velo Senso saddle I learned about from this thread:

Seems to be a decent one for $40. But took a while to receive it from Taiwan.

it was nice and cool in chicago as well this morning!

it was 59 degrees when i left home. sunny and dry too.

i haven't ridden in air that cool and comfortable in months.

it was a glorious 1st taste of those cool, clear, and crisp autumn mornings that define "perfect bike riding weather" for me.

I got to play the "rabbit" this morning, for a guy on a hybrid giving chase the last three miles. He probably thought I was "racing" since he'd passed me several miles earlier. Regardless that's fun sometimes and he said he enjoyed it.

It was very nice this morning. Low 60's, low humidity. 6.36 mile commute in 31:49. The usual. This pic is from a grocery run. Not part of my great commute route.

Nice ride. A bit chilly not even in the 90's. Almost jacket weather.

I lost my bike shoes on the subway on Thursday, and I don't have any other comfortable shoes to ride in, so I took the subway into work today. Boohoo!

Last week I was stopped at a light when a car pulled up next to me. The driver wasn't merely on the phone, he was on Skype. I said "Skype?!? You have got to be [effing] kidding me." I know he heard me but he averted my glare.

Flat tire on the way in. Same tire as flatted coming home last Friday. Worst part is I thought I left my phone where I had stopped to fix it, so backtracked a mi to look. Turns out I stuffed it in a pocket in my backpack that I don't usually use I checked the rim and tire thoroughly and couldn't find anything and got home without incident. Fingers crossed.

35 mi RT, Nice cool 70s weather.

It was cooler when I left work this afternoon then it was going to work this morning.

It was a cool 52f degrees when I left the house in the dark this morning. The commute was a nice uneventful ride to work.

Uneventful.. cool and little wind. Once a week I'll grab a trash bag and pick up can's along my route.. somehow it ends up crushed 2 bags within 2-3 miles. Due to time restraints typically don't in the morning but decided to this morning. Within 2 miles picked up a full crushed bag and seen another bag after. Don't get alot from it but should get us dinner every month or so. Need to think of a better solution that the bags.. hate to drag my trailer to work though.

Nice 65F and low 60s dew point this morning. Yesterday afternoon's lower humidity and only 85 degrees was not bad at all.

Another cool morning, 60F for me is windbreaker and full finger gloves. A friend rode up to me towards the end of my ride and said, "it's not winter yet!" Funny guy

Ah, harumph! I left my shoes at home once or twice. Sucked and ended up driving back home and taking a "work form home day". Guess I didn't feel like riding look-style pedals in trail shoes or socks. Doable but not terribly plesant...

Was a nice park and ride in today. Started out at 58F but inched up a few degrees when I got into the city. Still wore short sleeve jersey and shorts, but felt a bit chilly in the beginning. Seems like fall has come a bit too early?

Wow. I wonder if the driver steered with his/her feet while using a laptop. Reminds me of another thread in cycling advcacy...

No, it was on his phone. Perhaps it was FaceTime, a registered trademark of the Apple Corporation.

I have a track racing bike with SPD-SL pedals, and I have shoes for those, but I didn't feel like changing pedals, and those shoes are too tight on me.

Nice weather for a ride in, I was feeling the urge to keep going instead of turning in to work.

YEsterday was 59.9 F I was not expecting it but it was so awesome. low 60's this morning.


Ride home yesterday mid 70's it was absolutely glorious! Made the super hot and horrible mountain bike ride on Saturday almost worth it.

like everyone else, cool and dare I say crisp...wore a long sleeve this morning which means I now have to bring a change of clothes for work and for the ride home...should be 85ish when I head back after work.

Pretty sunrise this morning - looking both east and west. Never really found a picture worthy spot though. Looking west was a really tall puffy line of clouds lit up orange. A few miles down the road I realized it was probably packing some rain too. I checked the radar and could see it heading my way. We met less than a mile from my office. It was just light sprinkles though, barely enough to get the streets wet.

Cool streak over, back to normal August temps and possible thunderstorms

on mornings like this, REO Speedwagon's "riding the storm out" is on a constant repeat loop in my mind.

i left about 10 minutes early because i could see some serious business was heading my way on the radar.

i encountered a few pre-storm spits, but i made it to the office before any real rain actually started falling.

it started raining in earnest about 5 minutes after i arrived. leaving 10 minutes early was a very good call!

Warm ride in. Unusual 68 degrees this morning. Only getting to the low 80's so should be a nice ride home. First ride this week, felt good to be back on the bike. Noticed the geese are starting to flock up and fly in small groups.
