Morning and evening commutes were like living in different cities.

Careful out there; puddles are icing over and slush is hardening.

Gorgeous day to ride! Other than the psychotic Prius driver who tried to run me off the road while honking like a mad-woman, it was a beautiful commute.

Spelunking through the west side. Came across some boisterous youth at a corner. Ducked down an icy alley for my getaway. One punk slammed down hard on the black ice. The rest stopped and laughed at thier fallen comrade and my fortunate getaway.

Had to mail some parts this afternoon so set off to the PO on my first bike purchase from thechainlink. Nice enough out to keep riding, so I headed for some gravel to test out the Kenda knobbies. Gravel turned to mud where the sun had warmed the surface. The next turn yielded a mile of sheer ice, so I rode that stretch in the snowy ditch. So the bike was well christened with a range of conditions.
