Massive Temperature swing today, it was 2c yesterday and 16c this morning. What a beatiful ride for mid November in Winnipeg.

Terrible commute this morning. Left the bike at work last night as I was meeting friends in town and didn't have time to ride home and get back into the city again.

So this morning I was on the bus. Standing up all the way in stop start traffic on Anzac bridge, hot and uncomfortable, whilst watching cyclists whizzing past much faster than the traffic. Makes me realise just how good it is to ride in every day!

Commute was very crazy this morning. At first I was happy about the 50F temps, but the smile faded when I was showered with a bunch of dust and small rocks by a street sweeper. My eyes and throat are still irritated. Later, my phone fell out of my bag and some evil drivers decided it would be fun if they could run over it...sigh. I felt better after I told myself that it's just a phone and I wouldn't let drivers ruin my ride.

Started off at 30 degrees out the door at 6:10 am. 2 miles later it was 60 degrees and 20-30mph wind. I could not believe it. I stopped and promptly stripped off all my layers. Arrived at work in shorts and long sleeve under shirt with my long fingered gloves between my hands and bars. Cold front to warm front in 2 miles. I would not have believed this had I not lived it.

Another beautiful day in America's Finest City. This morning it was 58F and 70F when I left work this evening. It made my 27 miles r/t commute very pleasant.

Watched the fighter jets fly over my head at Miramar AFB on the way home. Fortunately they were high enough that it didn't hurt my ears. One time I was right under their landing path that crosses my route and boy that really hurt my ears.

Great day.

By the time I started out, the rain showers had stopped. Most of the way I was dodging large puddles. My Performance Bike vinyl rain jacket is ripping along the zipper, so I'm going to shell out some dough for a quality rainjacket ( Bellwether? ) and rainpants...and some detachable fenders...and a rearview mirror...
The after rain sunshine hitting Nantucket Sound was a cool sight... I noticed on the way home that regular gas is $3.02 a gallon. It was $2.99 yesterday!

did a 40 mile road ride yesterday at a good pace and I was pretty chilled out on my ride today. Certainly set no records on the way in :rolleyes: but it was a very pleasant commute. Started the day with rain and ended with clear skies.

Bootiful.

It was actually pretty fargin' cold today. The radio claimed -2C, but a co-worker said it was -10C at his house. I need to move faster with my pogie plan.

On the way home yesterday I had to stop by the side of the road to put on different (warmer) gloves and a headband for my ears. Gets cold when the sun drops now :(

I had some jack***** in a truck give a long honk at me (I think) just as he was entering the on ramp to the highway. Guess he felt all powerful since I couldn't follow and catch him there. A couple minutes earlier he was stuck in traffic and I would have easily caught him.

Nice ride in this morning, started to drizzle about 1/2 way into my ride. No big deal, still warm enough out there. Problem is with the glasses.... gotta go for the surgery I think.

Nice ,warm ride in this AM. Finally getting back to normal after a bout of bronchitis nearly a month ago. Has me worrying about riding in cold temps, but this AM's 50F was very nice! Should be ~ 70-75F for the ride home

The weather is getting weird. Last night's commute home was unusually warm. This morning's commute was also warmer than usual. All I had on today was my thin outer shell and I still felt overheated. Otherwise, the commute this morning was nice and peaceful. I saw a guy fixing a flat and offered my help. He said no so I went on my way.

Beautiful morning for a ride in today. Only day this week I will be commuting unfortunately. I will be testing out my headlight again tonight. I know that it's not nearly bright enough so I have to take it easy. Luckily the big hills are all up on the way home in the dark. It's in the 60's now but will only touch the 40s the next few days, with some snow in there possibly.

Finally returned to my bike commuting this morning. Been away for about a month and a half (just lazy, sigh)
I'm hoping to get back to 1-2 times/week and maybe ride thru the winter as well.

Rode the Trek hybrid into work today. The weather was very nice on the way in this morning. But the 3 "gnat-clouds" I rode through (face first) were not real fun! I guess they hang out near lakes. I didn't spy the first cloud until it was far too late (spi-tooey!) But I was ready for #2 and 3 (head down, tucked)

The ride home should be nice - decently warm for this time of the year
I need to buy some breathable pants of some sort. My Nike sweats on top of my spandex cycling shorts got pretty humid

Hello everyone. This is my first time posting about my commute here, but I am a regular bicycle commuter. It's only about 3 miles to work so ride almost every day. I ride home for lunch and back to work and then back home again so about 12 miles a day. My regular commuting bike is a Schwinn World Sport that I converted to a single speed, so I can just jump on it and go. It's very windy here today, the weather report says 30mph with 44mph gusts, but I managed to stay upright :) I hope everyone has a good ride home today.

Hello James! Great to her about your ride. Going home for lunch is quite a nice idea!

I had a great ride in this morning - one of those days where it all seemed effortless, although I made good time.

I'm going into the LBS this weekend to talk about getting a singlespeed. I've pretty much given up on using the gears on my commute...

An amazing ride home tonight. I pulled out of work going downhill at a high rate of speed and noticed no wind at all. I had a huge tailwind for 7 miles. I did the 7 in 20 min which was unthinkable for me. Then it happened, I had to turn north into the wind. The last 3.5 miles was done in 15 min. Still a personal best. 10.5 mile commute in 35min with trunk/pannier and about 15lbs in it.

welcome James!

Windy here in Boston on the way home tonight. sometimes it pushed me home and then it turned right around and got me in the face. Unseasonably warm.

bit foggy to start but then getting up 28 degrees loving it yipeeeeeeee

63F and threatening to rain. Commute was faster than usual and cagers more aggressive and unpredictable than usual. Had one hard stop due to a cab cutting me off and stopping to turn right. Had some others try the same thing so I got more aggressive w/ lane positioning and switching lanes.

I was gonna try to bike commute today, but a cold front arrived just as I was waking up. The forecasters had predicted rainstorms this morning, but they are often wrong. It wasn't raining when I got up, so I checked the radar on-line and line of showers was just about to hit my area. Given my aversion to riding in the rain, it was a good call because we finally received some much-needed rain. It is also supposed to be very windy today, and get much colder as the day progresses. I'll be back in the saddle tomorrow, when it's supposed to be much colder but dry.

Brrrrrrrrr

:D4000 Miles!:D

And cold ones at that. 35f, windy. Traffic was light, but more obstables then usual, two police cars, numerous school buses, trains, every red light, construction crews, and the landscape armada!

Planning a celebratory lunch, and hoping wind dies down as forecast.

Pretty reasonable ride in today. It was a little shilly, but not bad. I think I'll have to make my own poges this weekend, since nobody seems to want to sell them to me. Boooo! :mad:

Should start in notiing that my ride to work is nothing but going East and South. Many long straights going Southbound. And the cool front just came through overnight down here.

Temp 60 degrees. NNE winds at 20 to 30 mph. Was stoked everytime I would turn southbound.

Not so stoked about my ride home.

Edit: On my fixed gear.. 48*17

Basically everything that could roll against me and cost me time did, but I still got in not measurably much later than anyone else. But it was annoying there for a bit.

And my ******* cygo nimh battery is dead, trickle-charging, from something like 55 min of use.

AND I dressed way-wrong, but had spares and changed, Clark Kent style, in the daycare's bathroom before heading out to work.
