Manic Bicycle Commute Monday

Aside from Wednesday of last week, the bicycle commute has been a daily occurrence since I returned from vacation. Unfortunately, today looks a little too messy for me. I accept getting a little wet now and again as part of my commitment to the bicycle commute, but when rain is forecast in the inches I give my gasoline vehicle a run.

Here are the stats for yesterday’s commute. I haven’t been posting these every day, mostly due to lack of blog time.

The ride in: Clear, in the lower sixties. A comfortable morning.

Comments: I rode the Volpe for the commute again today. After the spin home, I took advantage of the perfect weather with a run and some free weight training. The run required reflective gear (seems to attract high beams of oncoming cars). Why do people dim their lights for oncoming cars, but high beam oncoming runners and cyclists? Do they think we can’t see, or do they only dim when in fear of getting high beamed back?

The ride home: Sunny, in the upper sixties.
