Jeebus, Remember to look at the weather in the morning. I damn near overheated.

yesterday me and my girlfriend carpooled, whenever she has a matching schedule to mine, she likes to carpool. I cyclo-commute the rest of the time, which is about 90% of the days. Wednesday, it was 25 degrees out when I was riding. and while I wasn't freezing, I was colder than I'd like, so Today, being the next day Id ride, I put on some long socks and long underwear, figured it would help keep me warm. Well, it did.

But it was always 42 degrees. welp. I had to really monitor my work output to make sure I didn't start sweating up a storm.

Lesson learned.

Nice and quiet ride in to work. Still dark outside. Temp. was about 50 degrees. I had some time so I went down Jefferson to window shop the furniture stores. stopped at my donutshop for a bottled water since I forgot mine this morning.

Upper 20s F, clear, no wind. Saw bmike going the other way. :) More geese hanging out in the water.

I passed a guy, and later he caught up at a red light. I dropped him on a hill after that, and then when I got to my building, he came in too. Turns out he works for the same company. :o

Yesterday I was playing cat & mouse with a woman on a road bike. She was pretty quick. :p

Low 40s, steady rain. Today's commute was all the way (16.5 one way) and on the recumbent. I was testing out my new wet weather gear.... and I still need to make some adjustments.

I'm still glad I rode. The look on people's faces when I got to work dripping wet on the bike was great! I just hope my clothes dry out before I have to put them back on to go home.

chilly ride but i wore my snowboarding mits today so my hands were quite warm the entire ride and my feet were happy too, i saw a few other people out on bikes this morning not sure if they were all commuting or not

My coldest commute ever today (only 41F, so most of y'all probably aren't impressed). Layered up and was a bit chilly on the descents and arrived a little sweaty. Need to refine the getup to find the right balance.

The ride (all 6 miles of it) felt pretty hard actually. Maybe I'm tired or maybe the cold affects me more than I expected.

Drizzly weather this morning. Didn't ride, but then again, I'm heading to New Orleans for Voodoo Experience after work, so it's all cool. :thumb:

Damnit...lost indexing on my grip shifter for my rear derailleur. Cold, dark, cold rain expected on the way home, tonight.

I was flying solo today, as my wife was at an apres-work industry party and left her bike at the office. The construction detour was gone, and it was smooth sailing all the way in. I'm hungry.

<40F, foggy. No kids today, my wife has a roadtrip and the 7 yr old's school is closed today so she drove them both to their respective destinations. Yesterday was my first commute for a while w/ both kids, not just one or the other.

oh, she wasn't driving, she was in the passenger seat.
not to say the driver wasn't too........trust me, more people are driving impared than you may realize, all you can do is be cautious on your bike, which you should be doing anyways

don't wanna start a pot discussion, though, i just thought it was an unusual & interesting thing to happen on the way home.

going home yesterday was pretty hum-drum, bit of a headwind, but after reading how everyone is freezing, I can't complain much.

as far as the commute today? wet. it rained, i got wet, my stuff got wet.

I need to get a watertight something to carry my stuff in. i just cant justify spending over $100 on a roll top chrome bag (the only one i like that i've seen)

maybe I'll get some of those giant zip-lock bags & put my stuff in that & then put that in my trusty EASTPAK backpack I've had for like 15 years

$5 vs. $150...I'm sold

Played BART tag today. Left the house and rode to Lake Merritt BART station (2 miles). Took BART to Berkeley and rode to the bike shop and then to Pinole (about 15 miles). Stopped midway in Albany for breakfast at a little 5 stool counter that's been recommended to me. Great!

Return trip? Rode Pinole to N. Berkeley BART (about 13 miles) BART to Fruitvale Station and then biked home (2 miles).

Wore shorts and a tee today. Tennis shoes. Temps in the mid 70's to low 80's.

Ride home was dry... That was unexpected. Overall pretty pleasant. Overcast and dark, but that just made stand out more with my lights.

Got yelled at a few times to get out of the road. I took the lane a bit more than normal. Nobody drove stupidly though.

First time back on the bike since the crash two weeks ago. I only did the ride home (4.5 miles) to see how the cracked rib is doing. No problems breathing on the hills but I could tell my conditioning had suffered a little. Overall it's great to be back on the bike.

Rode to work it was sunny and warm this morning. Just a hair over 7 miles one way. At the end of the shift it started raining hard and I wasnt prepared. Had to get picked up, was looking forward to the ride back.:(

25 degrees above average on the ride in, gotta love that!

Discovered the front tire flat as I was about to come home. The Topeak Road Morph, while one of the better pumps out there, is still a pain in the ass.

I drove today due to a nasty cold. :(
The weather was beautiful on the walk to the car, too, just to add insult to illness.

Sunday commute to nowhere. Oakland to Alameda and back..sort of.

Not looking forward to the rain. I know it's coming and I should get prepared. No fenders yet, those I'll get this week. What about rain wear? It doesn't ever get cold where I'm at, but it can hammer down the wet. Is Gortex the leader in lightweight, breathable or are there better fabrics out?

First 5.5 miles, 30-40 mph crosswind gusts rode like this /
Last 2 miles 30-40 mph tail wind rode like this Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Around 45 degrees or so. Not too cold. A bit foggy, not much traffic. Enjoyed the ride. Dark though !

Mid 40sF and overcast. Started out with a headwind but it died out during my ride. Only saw 4 people on the MUP. All "regulars" on foot.

Still sick, but I felt good enough to ride today. Most days, the ride home from work is the major stress-busting commute. Today, it was the ride in. I had family drama last night, so I was glad to have a little while to clear my head and surround myself with quiet and darkness.

On the downside, I think all the motorists got together and decided to buzz me. 4 buzzes on one commute! Jerks.

Easy as pie. My legs felt strong as an ox. I wish they felt like this everyday.
