I fixed to ride, and I rode fixed. Three days in a row on the fixie, four days in a row riding so far this week and five consecutive work days. Quite a little streak I've got going! The forecast says that'll come to an end tomorrow. Also, my legs are tired.

I was just about taken out by an industrial lawn mower today. You know those big self-propelled lawn mowers city workers use where they stand on a platform at the back of the mower? One of those was mowing a strip between the MUP and a fence, ahead of me, going the same direction as me, so she was facing away from me. There was a clump of bushes in her way, so naturally, she swerved her lawn mower into the MUP without shoulder checking, right as I was passing by. Thankfully, I anticipated the action and took evasive maneuvers. Still a bit of a close call. No harm, no foul, I just kept going.
