First Bike Commute of the Year

I finally took the bike to work today. Between the dislocated pinky and the rainy seasons, I hadn’t done so in nine months.
Today was a bit different. I have a new ride: Julian bestowed his bike on me. It rides well and weighs much less than my old bike, but I do miss the “granny gear” on the pedal. The topography around here necessitates that extra gear lest you wind up walking the bike uphill, which I consider a moral failing. Otherwise, the trip home was good. I managed to pass some younger cyclists on the trail. The weather was quite comfortable for riding.

Since tomorrow is Bike to Work Day, I’ll reprise my commute – and maybe pick up some swag in the process.
