joie de vivre 's head hurts
Rode to my class on Monday, and then into work on Wednesday.
Today, I had a meeting in town, so I did the bike/bus thing to the park-and-ride, and then zipped up to Lower Queen Anne. All that pedaling up to the Plateau has paid off. Even with a full pannier, I made it to the P/R in a sprightly 25 minutes.
After the meeting, I made a couple of stops. First, I dropped off my proxy card with the old personnel dept., who nagged me about not turning it in when I finished up in May. Then I stopped off at the Bicycle Alliance office, to turn in an auction item. Finally, I made a stop at Working Dog Cycles and bought a couple of spare tubes.
After all of that, it was a sparklingly clear and breezy ride home. Really gorgeous cycling weather. And you know? Because I now have a ‘burb to ‘burb commute, I really miss bikie culture. Riding in town just puts me in proximity with other cyclists, other people riding to make deliveries and get places. I do see a few other cyclists on my way to work, but it’s pretty rare. It’s much nicer to be where other people on bikes are.
Enough loafing – time to get some things done around here…!
