Here are some highlights of this week so far:
Monday a.m.-Super foggy. My wife was way concerned for my safety on the way in, but I really never felt myself to be in any additional danger. It was kind of cool, actually; condensation totally accumulated on various parts of me and my bike.
Monday p.m.-One thing (of many) that I love about biking as opposed to driving is that your sense of smell has so much more to do when you're in the saddle. The oily, can-do odor of garages and workshops with their doors open to Sandy Creek Road or Washington Blvd, coffee shops and restaurants filling Ellsworth Ave with airborne, plain-spoken deliciousness, the ghosts of summer escaping from fallen leaves and whithering grasses. It's all so vivid and rich in detail.
Tuesday a.m. -Changed a flat on Allegheny River Blvd on my way in. A piece of glass went right through my new, cheap rear tire. I like to think that I'm getting more skilled and efficient at removing/replacing tires; it's tough.
