That is not my picture by the way. I forgot to take a pic while I was out this morning riding. This one is from a biking forum I follow.
I just took a short ride, 35-40 minutes, around the neighborhood, from Normal Heights, over to Hillcrest. What a beautiful morning! New Year's Day...9:30 a.m. temp was 63 degrees...and sunny....
I only rode to work once this week, on Monday...Tuesday I was too tired, hadn't slept well...and then Wednesday and Thursday were wet, so I rode the bus. I really was craving getting back on the bike today. That feels good to want to be on it.
Bike-wise this weekend I'm buying a better, brighter, more expensive ($!$!) front light. I am more confident riding at night, as I wrote in a previous post. But still...my present light really isn't as bright as I want. It became very apparant this week when the bulb died, and I had to rely on my "blinky" light. No thanks.
The one I am probably going to buy is from this company, they look sooooo cool. And bright!
Seriously though, I did read a lot about them on some of the bike forums I've been following.
On a different note... best book I've read in ages in ON PAROLE. I loved another book of his, SHIPWRECKS, and this one was equally as good, despite being very different. Check both out.
