yesterday - had to drop off the wife's van at the dealership so I got to bike in from there - different route so it was fun - also had to go pick it up again as well as do some other errands/stops.

today was a typical commute - felt good. I think I am going to change my route home tonight though. Need something different and want to get off the main road a bit more as well.

My training partner bailed on me this morning so I took the opportunity to scout out a route from Natomas. I've had 4 or 5 colleagues ask me for commuting advice but they live north of the Sacramento and routes seem to be tough to do on a bike.

LOL, did you just tell me (nicely of course) to harden TF up?

I'm still chickening out today, I think. A 40 kph headwind gusting to 50 is a little more than "breezy"!

Gorgeous morning - weather report said fog, but it was clear and breezy. Coming home yesterday on the MUP, there were tons of cyclists out. (I usually see 5-6; yesterday there were more like 20)

Passed a motorist pulled up on the side of the road, clearly broken down. Asked him if he needed a hand (thinking cell phone, help pushing the car to the corner). No, he said, he just needed some air for a flat.

Told him he could use my mini pump, but it would probably take him about 2 days to inflate the tire. He laughed and said no thanks.

Beautiful morning. 70s. slight headwind.few cyclists out, passed about six peds.

The snow finally melted from the roads! Now I can go fast(er) again! Plus I don't have to wear boots, back to shoes and normal cycling gloves instead of snowboarding gloves... ahhhh, I hope this actually turns into spring.

been slack on the old computer lately i wish i could say it was from so much riding but i cant, just busy with work

I have kept the commute up which has been awesome although today it was a little hot, 39degrees

T'was great as the weather has been incredible for this time of year and I got to take my newly minted Phillip's Twenty folder on it's inaugural run.

Nice ride in today--right around the freezing mark and no wind.

Forecast for today calls for a high about 30'F higher! Looks like from chilly fingers to sunblock. :)

First one for the season
 

Rode in today for the first time this year, and to my new office in VA. A little chilly, but still very nice.

- JR

First commute of the year for me too, Hands got a bit cold for a while but eventually I had a light sweat worked up and all body parts were warm enough. No issues other than my Cygolight seemed very anemic. The battery is 4-5 years old now (and the light itself is 8-9), so I suspect it is no longer holding a full charge. I suspect its time to upgrade.

It's not a race, but I beat that guy on the mtb/bmx hybrid again. :D

Stopped at the dentist for a replacement filling on my way to work this morning. My closest friend here at work told me he saw me pulling out of the parking ot after my appt. Of course I asked him, "Did I look good?" ;)

Uneventful commute the rest of the way. Supposed to be b-e-a-u-tiful weather here this afternoon with a high around 74F. :D

Would have been a great day for a ride, but had a flat car tire last night (on I-40! a NAIL!) and have to get that taken care of during the day today. Can't do both this time.

First commute of the season today. It was mid-30's and 20mph wind. Not too bad for the middle of March. The potholes were a little bit of nuisance.

First commute of the year for me as well. I feel awful for taking so much time off during the winter but I just had so much going on and am in need of a real front headlight (on my list for the fall so I can commute year round). Had a nice ride in, temp in the upper 20s, no wind and traffic was nice to me. My commuter bike was autoshifting out of 1st 2nd and sometimes 3rd gear. Got that fixed when I got to work since I have some killer hills on the way home tonight.

wife dropped me off this morning with the bike - will be biking home tonight around 10pm or so. Hopefully the 74 degree weather this afternoon will translate to a warmer commute this evening.

The new route I tried yesterday was great - more off the road and through some communities - much more enjoyable ride!

Wow! What a great day to ride. This morning was the best in a long time. Still had some of the winter gear on but I made good time ridin' into work. I enjoyed it so much that I didn't want to stop. This afternoon was Spin city. No gloves, no balaclava, just a light jacket(my does-it-all Showers Pass rain jacket), my regular tights. It felt great. People were smilin' at me with that look on their faces that they wish they could be out ridin' a bike today. Temps were at a glorius 62f or so. And the bike was moving on the road tires. After spending a week on the Snow studs. Took the bikepath from Antrim up to Worthington. Had it all to myself. After today, I don't care what the weather does the rest of the week. Yesterday I flipped the odometer over 1000 miles

Windy and warm. Almost too warm. Legs feel good, though. Looking forward to the weekend.

40 degree's and very very hot I'm starting to dislike it..... more water bottles needed i think

First commute this year, first day of the new Chicago bike safety ordinance. Felt great to ride, but when are they going to fix these potholes?

Commute was uneventful. But I got out of work late tonight so it was dark by the time I made it home. Decided to go by the grocery store to buy kitty food and treats for myself.

I totally ran a red light at a busy intersection.

But it was by accident and I totally motored out of that intersection.

Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure I said "oh ****s!" on that trip twice. Once when i ran the red, and once when I drove over a seemingly innocent puddle which turned out to be a pothole.

Kids, don't try this at home.

commute in was pretty nice... commute home was great too except for the wind.

It was an absolutely gorgeous day to ride here in NYC and an even better one to go for test rides. I tried out the Orbea Onix TDA, a Cannondale Six 13 and a Cannondale Synapse now I have to decide which one to get.

:D

After getting flats the on the rear tire the last couple of commutes, I'm in full flat-paranoia mode where every time the headwind pick up, or going uphill and feeling some drag makes one think "not again".

Nevertheless, the commute was nice and quick, in large part due to the weather being in the 40's, which is much, MUCH nicer for riding than weather in the 30's.
