I finally have a job to commute to. I'm working part-time as a tutor in an elementary school. It's 7 to 9 miles each way, depending on the route I take.
Today I rode my bike the whole way for the first time. I enjoyed it quite a bit, but it took a bit longer than I expected and made me a little late, so I need to adjust my routine.
The route is flat. I did it on my fixed gear bike. I've come to like riding fixed once again. This bike is my least valuable, so I don't fear much when I lock it up outside.
Twice on the way today, someone complimented me on my bike. It's unexpected and funny to me.
On the way home, my chain fell off. I got off to fix it. A truck driver stopped and leaned out of his cab and asked, "Ya want a napkin?" and handed me a wad of paper towels so I could wipe my hands. People say New York City is nasty?
