Consecutive bicycle work commute number 1118:
It took 22 days, but January finally decided to show up. 9°F with a 10 mph headwind that made for a -5°F wind chill. The pavement is clear enough of snow that I'm back on my hybrid bike, so that's nice. Supposed to snow over the weekend so I'm guessing next week I will return to the winter bikes.
After arriving at the office I glanced at my rear wheel and thought to myself, "that valve stem looks unusually short." Upon closer inspection I can see that the screw top on the presta valve snapped off, and it's just air pressure holding the valve shut. I'll probably make it home OK, but it looks like there's a tube change in my future.
Was in the shower at the office when I heard my GoPro randomly power up as it was sitting on the counter by the sink. It does that sometimes. The picture quality on these cameras are great, but the firmware is quirky as heck.
