Just Warming Up
The ride in: Partly cloudy, in the upper fifties. Sweat levels: low
Comments: I rode the Trek again for today’s commute. The ride in left me feeling energized for the day. The ride home was more work (against the wind), but it didn't really feel like much of a ride. The 5 1/4 mile commute is beginning to feel like just a warm up again.
Pedaling by and listening to the helicopter that is perpetually hovering above the scene of yesterday's homicide is a little disconcerting
The ride home: Overcast, around seventy.
Number of fellow cyclists seen on both trips: 5 (all of whom were riding on the sidewalk on the wrong side of the road)

Fair-Weather Bike Commuter
I never thought I would become a fair-weather bike commuter, but it seems that is exactly what I have become. Since Bike-to-Work-Week (May 15th to 19th), I have pedaled in to work only a couple of times, and those were on clear days. I should also mention that having a new puppy stuck at home in a crate most of the day, causes me want to get home as quickly as possible. My cycling and work life might be suffering, but the home life is fun and fulfilling. I guess it is about achieving a balance, and if that means pedaling to work only once or twice a week, so be it.
