Siri lied and said there would be no rain this morning.

It rained. I'm soggy.

@ascentale @inliuofjoan A5: It’s not my jam (yet) but we have a strong community of accessible & adaptive cycling here. I regularly pass recumbents, trike, e-bike of all kinds, hand bikes, etc on the trails & in town. It’s one of the reasons I moved here — knowing that I’d almost certainly be able to my whole life. If I need an electric recumbent hand trike later, that’s possible! I can get one & it will function on the trail network!

Another complimented my socks this morning while we were waiting for the light to change. That can’t happen if you’re in a Funny how a small kindness really brightened my morning.

Its officially the start of the autumnal sweater migration season. The joyous days when it's too cold in the morning to bike without a sweater or jacket and so hot in the afternoon that I forget to take the sweater or jacket home at night.

@antijen Coworker: "Hey, how was the ride into work today?"
Me: "You're lucky I stopped here."
Coworker: laughs.

<it wasn't a joke.>

Ok so that’s why it wasn’t sealing. Half a washer had cut through the tyre and was still lodged in it.

I managed to get an inner tube in but couldn’t get the tire true on the wheel. I’ve admitted defeat and will book it in for a fresh set of tubeless tyres. 🥲

Biked to the office today! First time on the roads for a while and it was tbh not the best. Cars, big trucks, construction, roads blocked off for events, bike lanes blocked with dumpsters, ooof. But any ride is better than no ride, especially on a morning with beautiful weather (unusual here for August!).

Bicycle commute: A balmy 68F/20C at 3am. Oof. I need a short-sleeved cycling top or maybe a good quality hi-vis vest.

Bicycle commute: do other folks have a favorite traffic control? I have a few favorite traffic lights on my regular route that always turn green as I approach well before the induction loops. I don't even need to slow down (though my fingers are on the brake levers just in case.) I feel like a VIP ushered through the intersection.

Been checking the news the whole morning and this has now been confirmed.
A woman was killed whilst cycling on her bike. RIP. Thoughts to the family.
As summer is here and traffic is lighter there is more speeding and shit driving. Stay safe people

A scaffolding truck stopped in the middle of Battersea Bridge. Plods, ambulance and fire brigade in the attendance. Area was being cordoned shortly after 8 am. I hope it is not what I think

my bike broke on Tuesday, (rear hub failed) so have been back commuting by car & OMG, the quality of is appalling. No doubt it was always this bad but after a year cycling instead it really hits home how bad it is.

First time I noticed that Strava now shows "Carbon saved" on rides you mark as commutes, presumably compared to a car journey. Must be new.

Bike commute: it's not all fresh donuts and bread in the early morning. I also get to ride through the miasma laid down by trash trucks. This morning I was dismayed by a trash hauler doing its business on a narrow road. No way to avoid it so I kept pedaling. The truck tipped a dumpster/skip with a big cloud of dust right as I came up on it. It smelled like Christmas. Turns out that bakery trash includes a lot of flour and spices.

Bike commute: nice tail wind this morning means I get to ride through those plumes of frying donuts and baking pan dulce & bread.

Bike commute: Riding in the early morning dark adds a little frisson at times. Example: warm temps (61F/16C) so I leave my windbreaker half zipped. At a short downhill, something starts flapping violently in my ear. I freak out before I realize it's just the loose collar of my windbreaker. The shot of adrenaline adds some pep to my pedals.
