Nope. Must have been some other nut case. :)

74 degrees with wind at 10mph pushing me. Was riding at 20-21mph consistent. That was going to work, on the way home; it was 10mph winds slowing me down..I was about to die at the end...

Single speed I suppose does not always help against the wind..

I actually saw another cyclist today! As I was approaching a side road from the main road I could see the bike headlight and I got all warm and fuzzy. We almost came to the intersection at the same time. We both acknowledged each other with a low wave.

That is the third biker I have seen in the a.m. since I started commuting 4 months ago.

Great commute today both ways. I need to work on my rear wheel it was wobbling pretty bad on the way home. :(

didn't have to go in until about 5:30 pm tonight but it was chilly!! Got really chilly on the way home- I actually had to wear gloves.:eek:

Picked my wife up at BU and we had the late night ride along the river. I almost ran over a rabbit on the bike path across from the IHOP/Staples on Soldier's Field Rd.- there are so many rabbits there I call it "Watership Down"

No commute for me today and I'm not going to ride all this weekend. I figured I would give my leg muscles a chance to recover, as they have been feeling sore on my commutes last week.

Last night's commute home was hell. The lid on one of my bucket panniers came off, twice; the second time I had to ride three miles to find it, strap it down with a couple bungee cords, and ride home. Oh, and someone ran me off the road. :mad: Took me two hours to get home. :notamused:

It ended up being a scam....http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=467228


Yea I cant wait! I've been looking and looking.

The commute to work was tiring today, a lot of traffic, there is a huge festival going on this weekend. I work in the afternoon/night so the temp was around 75 when I rode...beautiful day though.

The ride home was nice, about 65 degrees. I currently ride ninja style, which I know is dangerous, but I can't afford good lights and don't want to spend money on crappy lights. But I just ride extra cautious.

I too had a night ride home from work at about 8:30 pm. SUPER! I went through the park 2/3 of the way home as usual, with no street lighting. My improvised bright headlights are great. They run off a 12 volt jump starter battery. I carry this around all the time and it weighs 8 lbs (which is the smallest jump start battery I could find). It's worth every pound of its extra carry weight due to the safety, confidence and convenience of being able to SEE at night. Plus, since my commute is short (3.5 mi), I need the extra exercise. On days when I get on the road bike sans battery / rack/ etc it seems to be a lot less effort (so I go longer on those days).

I did my weekend commute on my Schwinn LeTour(27 miles this time) from my home in Oak Cliff to Katy Trail. The whole trip was cool and pleasant. I must be getting in better shape 'cause I hardly broke a sweat. On the way back, I ran into a group of roadies. They were pretty cool and even let me tag along as we rode through downtown on Houston St. and across the Zang bridge. They turned down a side street and I continued on home.

I drove today because I overslept.
I know I'm going to regret it this afternoon; the leaves are just starting to change.

went out to fix the wobble that I noticed on the way home after work Friday. Another broken spoke. The local bike shop was already closed and the Sports Chalet didn't carry my spokes or have the tool to remove the cluster. They didn't even have the tube I needed for my back up bike. I might be riding the Mtn. Bike tomorrow. I better leave early. Yuck!

The commute was good and cool. I am really wishing I had lights though....riding a black bike with a black helmet and no lights is starting to scare me a little.

Get lights ASAP! I bought lights when I started commuting. I have a bright LED blinking red light behind me and I still almost get hit. I'm going to get another one.

I think it's also the law in most places but more importantly you want people to know you are there!

It was cool in SoMD today! But I had a sweatshirt on and it was too much. So my commuting time was higher than normal because I had to pull over, take off my helmet, take off my clear safety glasses, take of the class-II safety vest (with blinking LED's don't you know), take off my Showers Pass jacket, pull the sweatshirt off, pack the sweatshirt, put the jacket back on, put the vest back on, put the helmet on, and put the glasses on. Whew. I got more sweated up just standing alongside the road. I'm a cold weather wimp but need to just suck it up and accept the fact that I will be cold for a few minutes when I start my commute.

Over dressed this morning. Temps were 48° F. Put on a long sleeved shirt and it was too hot. Yesterday was 38° F and I put on the longs. This time of year in New England, cool mornings, warm afternoons.

Cool and wet. Wore a long-sleeved shirt and rain-jacket.

I need fenders in a bad sort of way.

I was right! I regretted missing out on the fall leaves yesterday. But I rode today, and if the meeting after work gets out on time (or if I skip it, a likely alternative), I will get to wander home on the MUP and see the leaves.

This morning's ride was a little warmer than usual, and absolutely gorgeous. There were little translucent bands of clouds painted across the sky, with stars peeking out from behind.

This was my first time riding to work without a backpack. Instead I carried all my stuff in a trunk bag, and it definitely made for a much more comfortable ride. The weather was hot and humid, which is normal for Florida.

I may do that in a bit. I have a blinker, but as winter approaches might be a good idea to load up. I have a helmet blinker. Sometimes I think it makes me look like a knob but i'd rather not leave behind a cool looking corpse.

That is pretty much how mine was. I wore one of those stretchy under shirts and I almost didn't need it. It is fairly warm in the afternoon here too.

fun ride this morning, left a bit later than i wanted to but i was moving slow...took a slightly different route this morning and the climb was steeper than i thought it was going to be but i am glad i did it

it should be sunny for the ride home which i am looking forward to

I'm back in the game. I rode in today (even though I went for a 60-mile ride yesterday), I felt good. I felt fast, but my bike computer disagrees.

It was an enjoyable ride. I'm being a little more aggressive about taking the lane. It's working well. No idiots today. It was cool, and I still need to buy gloves.

Odd commute. I was riding down the street next to the light rail station at union station in Denver. A motorcycle going the other way pulled a U turn into my lane directly in front of me. Fortunately it was at a slow speed and I was already slowed down watching the biker a tad incredulously. Then the rider would not speed up so I passed the biker in the left lane and thanked him\her for cutting me off.
As I went further south the temps increased. I ended up in a jersey and shorts at the end. Almost overheated. The results for such an occurrence are quite painful for me.

It's brisk baby! Now is the time of year where I start to watch the thermometer. 7C today, supposedly -2C tomorrow morning...
