Great commute at 51F and mostly cloudy with winds from the WNW @ 15mph. Quite a bit of traffic on the roads this afternoon. I need to memorize which type of vehicles my friends drive. I had about 3 different vehicles give me friendly beeps and then wave at me on the way home. I know I've seen the vehicles before, but I'm not sure who the drivers were.

amazing weather today! hovering around 60F right now.

had to ride up to crown hill and back (about 15m round trip)

stopped at freemont boat bridge as the bridge was up

Just about close to perfect ! I love this weather, cool at 52 and bright sunshine. I actually find myself slowing down just to prolong the road travel.

3ss

Tuesday's commute in the wind and snow did a number on me. I came down with the flu or something with a high fever and was out of commission the remainder of the week. I made the mistake of taking the bus to class the next day and had to wear two jackets indoors to barely feel warm. The roads here are so uneven and rutted from the snow, I wouldn't have even tried biking even if I had the energy.

Today I tried to take my car to a doctor appointment but all the tires were surrounded by ice and it couldn't get out of the holes. It's warming up next week so the slick tires might be going back on.

Last night it was about 40 degrees f, clear with patches of fog, almost no breeze. Lots of stars and I followed the planet Venus almost all the way home.
Pushed extra hard for a nice workout, slept like a baby and woke up feeling like a million bucks.

I saw the picture before I read the text. A few beers and some Sake, and I was like, "OMG THAT IS THE MOST AMAZING PICTURE EV_ oh it's Photoshopped." Still, very cool.

Good ride in on the first day of the Celtic new year, but the first morning this season below freezing at 30 F ( -1 C). Only my hands were a bit cold, so tomorrow, I will get another pair gloves out. On down hills the plastic frames of my glasses stung, but I just didn't feel like pulling my face mask up. It is also the first morning for leggins, and a sad morning at that.

First 30 F ride in for me as well. Wore the leg warmers over my tights and an extra base-layer on top. The only thing complaining were my finger tips. Can't wait for Daylight Savings so I can commute in with a little daylight again (at least for a little while).

Overcast, 36F / 2C, with a tailwind. I found if I stayed at 15-16MPH, I had zero wind noise, and just the whir the tires, so I maintained that speed. Sure is getting dark in the morning now. By this coming Friday, our sunrise will be 7:34AM. I leave around 7. Good thing I'll be on vacation later this week.

Chilly today and I was feeling slow for some reason. 32F and sunny with winds from the NW @ 10mph. I was warm on the commute, but my feet froze. I need to get better socks if I'm gonna stay clipless, because all I have with SPD are Keen commuter sandals.

42f nice and calm, my new kuwahara rides like a dream got a few quirks i gotta smooth out but really nice ride in.

I love when that happens. It's such an amazingly peaceful calm silence.

This morning, I had a headwind, so I wasn't getting any of the calm, quiet. Pulled out the underlayer tights for the first time this year and wore them under a pair of cargo shorts. Temps were in the upper 30s for the ride. Have to run some errands on the way home that will take me off my regularly beaten path and add a few miles to the ride, so I'm excited about that. Should be a beautful ride home this afternoon - temps in the 50s, sun, tailwind. I love November!!!

First commute in 22 years. Not the last.

6.5 miles, which wasn't very far for me before. Turns out it's still not very far.

My commute has lots of small rolling hills. The flat spots are the tops and bottoms of the hills. Love having lotsa gears, cause I wasn't beaten by any hill the road threw at me.

Temp was about 44° F. Wore, I think, one too many layers, as I was warm the whole ride, and too warm when I arrived.

Tooled along at whatever speed I felt like, got to work in about 30 minutes.

First day of Bike to Work Week here and I'm stuck in a cage in the pouring rain. My son made it to daycare dry and warm, but I got to work tired and stressed. No riding at all this weekend. I need to pull out the trainer tonight and put in some suffering.

over the weekend, the city apparently dug a brand new deep and wide trench across the road along my regular commute route. i didn't notice it until the last minute, but i tried to bunny hop it anyway. i made it most of the way across, but i i still caught my rear rim on the far edge of the canyon with a very loud bang and subsequent pinch flat. i had my tires up at 90psi, but that wasn't enough for that violent impact. at least the rim looks good and still spins true.

stupid city cutting trenches in roads without patching them back up. ohhhhh the wonderful glory that is the chicago streets & san department.

I was going to comment on the dark rides in too. Not to sound like I'm trying to one-up you, but here in the Great White North (53.57 degrees North), our sunrise isn't until 8:30 these days, and sunset at 6:00 pm. Next week, with DST ending, I might see the beginning of the sunrise in the morning, but my commute home will suddenly be dark.

Commute in temp was around 0C/32F. The forecast for the week is for unseasonably warm temperatures. I was pretty excited because I thought I would be able to go back to my old, favourite route through a couple of city parks. A pedestrian bridge over a freeway (my access to the park route) was supposed to re-open on the weekend after being closed since spring, but when I got there this morning, it was still barricaded. Bummer. Had to backtrack a bit and got to work a little later than usual. I got word from the city that it's supposed to open later today, but I'm not holding my breath.

It was about -5C this morning, but apart from my frozen toes (I need to get some good socks) the ride felt great. I think I actually set a record time because I raised my seat up a bit more and I guess I can get more torque onto the pedals.

Commute was beautiful today. I got trekking bars yesterday, wrapped them with bright blue bar tape, and went for ~30 mile ride. They still feel new today, it's almost like getting a new bike. Hills don't stand a chance

definitely much cooler this morning (probably high 30s or low 40s - on the archaic Fahrenheit scale). I stuck with shorts, but I layered up with a long sleeved base layer between my short sleeved technical T light wind layer. I almost stopped and pulled the wind pants out, but decided to stick it out, and by the beginning of mile 3 I was doing okay. I think I'm glad I did, though I'll be looking closely at the temp for the ride home.

Actually, by mile 7 or 8 I considered stopping to remove the wind layer, but again, I demurred. Overall I was okay, though my feet were a bit chilly. I think I need to look at warmer sock options.

Wet. Very, very wet morning in Seattle with solid rain expected all day. Even rain pants for me which is pretty unusual. Warm though.

Back on the bike this morning. -3C and icy on the way in, the studded tires were great. +7C and very wet on the way home. All the snow should be gone and hopefully back to dry roads by mid-week.

Welcome back into the fold!

Nice commuting weather today; I so prefer this to temps that leave me sweating for a half hour after the ride is over. Of course, if I could lose some more weight the warmer weather likely wouldn't affect me as much as it does now. Gotta keep pedaling!

Warm, sunny...and slow.

Was hauling trailer loads of food last night and the legs were dead.

Sounds like the streets not too far from here. I'm looking forward to Chapin and East St in Ludlow getting paved, but it doesn't seem like it's ever going to happen. They're almost going on 2 full weeks with ripped up roads and no new asphalt. Good commute home today at 45F and partly sunny with winds from the NNW @ 12mph. My cyclocomputer is still a bit off, and I accidently adjusted it the wrong way before I left. It said that I went less distance than I actually did. When I got home, I readjusted it the right way so hopefully it will be more accurate next time.

wow that was chilly this morning. I was fairly bundled up plus I had offered to bring in breakfast for colleagues. So I had both baskets full of food plus my clothes in a bag over my shoulder...not doing that again. On the way back today I encountered, for the third time in my short bike commute career, national Park Police motorcycles motoring down the sidewalks around the Mall. Not cool imho...one time was very early, in the dark, and he came up from behind and scared the hell out of me.
