It's Been A While

I'm surprised that I haven't posted in so long... I have been riding, the weather has turned from pleasant to muggy. Since my last post I've had two flats and a broken rear brake cable. The first flat happened at work on a fairly pleasant day, so it wasn't much of a problem changing the tube out after work.

The second flat happened on the way to work while I was trying to beat a storm... Needless to say, I got caught out in the pouring rain. Not too fun. I was late to work, soaked (as I hadn't put on the rain gear) and to top it off the T stopped to see if I wanted a lift. I declined; I was already late and would still have to ride my bike to work from the downtown stop.

My brake only partially broke; probably three-quarters of the way. The break was still usable, but I took it easy with it. I had it changed out at the bike shop and bought a new helmet while I was at it.

Not much else to say; still looking to do the grocery shopping via bike and child trailer one of these weekends. That should be pretty interesting... Trying to increase my utility cycling.

My wife, daughter and I did take a spin up to the Dairy Queen last month. That was a pretty successful trip. Well, except for when I pinched my daughter with the buckle of her helmet... Not very happy with that...

More later...
