I'm upset with myself. On the bike ride home today a car cut me off and I had to slam the brakes hard and fast, stopped in plenty of time but then rode directly at the car (which made a left turn in front of me) and gave them the finger and yelled "Fuck You!".
I want to be better than that. It was a heat of the moment sort of thing but a minute later I regretted it.

Looking forward to the @… community bike ride in downtown Burlington on New Year's Day. It should be calm and quiet out. -9°C though; hope everyone layers well. A cup of hot chocolate or apple cider afterward is going to be amazing!

We have labeled the band-aids/gauze. Pray we do not label it any further.

It's "bring a medium sized box to work day" again...

Today two separate people asked me about (ortlieb) panniers. One in TJs on the escalator, the other outside at the falafel truck. I've been asked so many times by strangers about my various cargo bikes, but can honestly say I've never been asked about my panniers in at least a decade. To be fair, they're pretty new and in both cases they were extremely full!

I started biking to work in August and it's now the end of November and I've done it 50 times in those 4 months.
That's 50 days I rode a bike instead of driving a car... about 650 miles by bike instead of car.

415 km? That's it? Did I forget to wear my watch a bunch?

Sorry I'm late, had to argue with car-brained people about the new bike lanes on Lisbon.
"I've never seen anyone ride a bike on Lisbon!"
"Do I have to shovel two sidewalks now!?"
"People only ride bikes 4 months of the year."
And so on...

On Saturday I did a bike ride and I very carefully tried to ride over some small patches of ice to familiarize myself with how it feels.
Yesterday a friend of mine was out for a gravel ride, did just fine, was all done and rode through a parking lot, hit some ice, went down hard, broke their hip. Argh!
