I am glad to hear your fall was not to bad aquateen. The roads were wet this morning as the rain was just coming to a stop as I left the house this morning. It was overcast and dark and temps of 50f, so warm. It was a slow ride in due to wet roads, and my nervousness on them. Though I am happy I rode to work instead of going to the gym.

45F/7C, overcast, and dark enough that street lights were illuminated, so I ran my blinkies for good measure. Also had a headwind but it wasn't too bad.

Last night's ride home was interesting...big black threatening strom clouds coming out of the West as I pedaled East. Missed the rain though. Drivers seemed more aggresive because of it.

Overnight showers brought the temps back down and this morning was cool and crisp.

Great weather for riding this morning with cool temps about 50 F and low humidity. Chose to drive yesterday due to forecast for severe thunderstorms in the afternoon, which was a good call because we had pouring rain and high winds at the time of my afternoon commute. The weather for the rest of the week looks good right now. Despite the day off, my legs were still tired from riding a mostly solo metric century on Sunday, so I took it easy.

8C with a 24kph headwind this morning. I was stiff most of the ride from the 58km I rode yesterday. I didn't get as much riding in on the way home as I had planned due to my lab running late.

It was pouring rain on the commute home last night. I made it home mostly dry, though, so my gear did its job. This morning, the roads were wet, but there was no rain. It was pretty windy and gusty, though, which is unusual for this area. Made me have flashbacks of Kansas...and that's never pretty. :p

It'll probably be raining on the ride home again tonight, but if it isn't windy, I'll take the long way.

I reached a milestone with over 600 miles logged commuting since the end of May (May 21st, 605.8 miles).

The ride was wonderfully uneventful, except: There were two guys crossing in the pedestrian crosswalk at one of the stop lights, just before my office. One says to meas he passes, "If anybody hits you, they just wrong! You got lights everywhere, d@mn."

Another beautiful morning. And a little cooler, too, which made it at least as nice as yesterday, despite the lack of the tailwind. Temps in the low 50s.

Had the same interesting weather already mentioned for the ride home yesterday... A stark line of very dark clouds with a clear break between cloud and clear sky. Rain started to spot just as I got within a few blocks of home, so no ill effects for me, but the line of cloud was pretty cool looking.

Looking forward to a cool, breezy ride home.

Cool morning 54 degrees, no close calls. Beautiful sunrise... I shoulda took a pic!

Sick yesterday, actually laid out of work today. I got a stomach bug from something.

Spent the weekend riding up in Travelers Rest S.C. It was beautiful, but I was expecting the trees to be changing. Saw some reds and a few yellows. but not as much as I was expecting. Still a bit early yet I suppose...

Rode the single speed up to Saluda. Got some funny looks from folks...It was beautiful though nice brisk morning, lot's of people out riding.

Hopefully I will be back on the road in the morning...

Beautiful morning, no wind to speak of (rare here this time of year). Nice, cool ride in~ Love autumn!

Took a picture at mile 14 of 17 on Friday morning. I'm right at 1000 commuting miles since I started August 8 this year, I should be able to hit 2000 by the end of the year.

GLORIOUS

70F, clear skies, lots of randomly friendly fellow riders, still feeling well pre-stretched by a yoga class last night, just heavenly for 26 miles up the peninsula. Sad it had to end when I got to the office.

Nice pic!

I should take the time to take some commuting pics as well...

A quiet ride in and a bit of a chill at 43f (6c). It feels cooler, because it is drier, but the day should warm up a bit.

It was a cold commute this morning the thermometer read 32f as I rode by it. My fingers were the only thing that felt cold the whole ride. I need warmer gloves or mittens. I saw another rider this morning but he was going the opposite way of me though we did say hi.

knee and shoulder are still sore from my fall yesterday so i took it real easy this morning. nice thing about cold mornings like this is you know the ride home will be fantastic.

The low 40's is perfect cruising temperature on a bike - enough of a chill to wake a person up and make them feel alive, but nevertheless very comfortable. :thumb:

I needed my hat this morning!

Very nice. 31F/-1C, no wind. The sun was just coming up. Direct sunlight hadn't gotten to the Burlington shoreline yet but it was lighting up the Adirondack Mountains and the Burlington breakwater, so I stopped to take a picture. I like what the flash did to my spoke reflectors. :)

Later, downtown, I just missed seeing an accident about a half block ahead of me, but I heard it happen. Hard to tell what happened. From the minor body damage, I'd say a car badly cut a left turn and got clipped by another car making a right turn from the street onto which the left-turner was headed.

Thanks! I almost never stop to take a picture, but decided to that morning so I could enter it in the Atlanta Bike to Work photo contest. Here's the link to vote if you're so inclined :) http://bit.ly/SUWxLL I won't win, there's a guy who had 123 of his closest friends vote for his picture that's not really a commute to work picture, but I'm still having fun. :)

Yesterday morning, mid 40's, a little wet... the first 3 mile section of the MUP I ride has a canopy of trees on both sides. About a mile or so in as the sun was just starting to give light I looked up to see the changing leaves giving a multicolored tunnel over the trail - stunning! I thought about taking a picture, for about a millisecond, til I realized I'd actually have to stop to do it!

Nice pic Dwayne! Like the bike my friend. Looks like a really cool commute!

Well, feeling better today, but my stomach is still a bit whimpy.

Rode the single speed into work under a awesomely star-filled sky. Not too cool, but just enough to take the heat off.

It won't be long before I will be able to shoot a movie of my ride down Sawmill Dr. It's a canopy of oak trees and is beautiful when it's all in color during the fall...

5C with winds 50 gusting to 75kph, which made for a quick ride despite the wind being never quite directly behind me. The roads were wet but I managed to make it in between showers. Going home will be slow and possibly wet.

Great ride home yesterday. Despite being grey and cloudy it was 15C with a good tail wind.

looking forward to when i have to start commuting in the dark. i don't know what it is, but i always feel extra productive when i'm going somewhere and the sun hasn't come up yet.

I live in Sudbury Ontario, about 4hrs drive north of Toronto. Generally, the temperatures in Sudbury average 5-7C below that of Toronto which is likely because of its size and proximity to Lake Ontario. Most mornings in the fall, I don't see a single bike commuter although I know of a couple who take a nearby route. I was in Toronto yesterday and amazed and somewhat overjoyed to see the number of bike commuters: I almost wanted to buy a bike just to join them. It seemed to me that the difference in numbers was more than just the climate and population, it seemed that it was more a part of the "culture" than here in Sudbury.

Although I didn't bike in today because I arrived home late last night and didn't have sufficient time to organize myself, I am going to continue to bike commute in as long as I can and start in the spring as early as I can and hopefully, encourage others to do the same.

Great job! For what it's worth, the organizational aspect gets easier.
