don't try too hard to understand
Motorcycle chained to the same pole to which I locked my bike:
Doesn’t it look ferocious with those teeth? My bike was glad to finally be freed.
Sigh. My poor bike could use a bath. It’s taken a lot of abuse these past few months, what with all the rain riding and wet cement eating.

Something I didn’t mention yesterday about Tuesday being a really crappy day? I fell while biking home. Not only that but it was into wet cement. My front tire totally ate it. Luckily, the construction crew was there so they helped me up and hosed off my bike. They kept asking me if I was OK and I kept insisting that I was because, really, I felt fine.
Fast forward a day or two and I’m achy all over. I thought it was all the migraines at first (which totally drain me and leave me exhausted for days) but I’ve got actual muscle aches and a black-and-blue bump on my knee that’s very sore. I’m lucky I didn’t get seriously hurt but I felt like a total dummy. My ego sustained the greatest injury… But now I’ll be more careful when riding through construction zones.

Today was rainy and in the 40s (5-9°C) all day. I biked to work and wore:
I was lucky to not get caught in the rain on the way there or back so I didn’t get to test the waterproof-ness of the jacket or pants. But! I can tell you that the windproof-ness of both was fantastic. The only parts of me that were cold were the ones that weren’t covered: ears and hands. I should have worn my skullcap under my helmet (which would have covered my ears!) and I need a pair of full-fingered gloves that aren’t heavy winter gloves. The thin gloves I used to wear ripped at the seams… but they weren’t very wind-resistant even when they were intact so I have mixed feelings about getting another pair.
