Thor's Day To Work

I rode the bike to work today as a sort of pre Bike To Work Day bike to work.  I took off the basket yesterday, charged the rear light up, and put the pannier on the front rack.  This morning I loaded up the pannier and headed off to work.  The neighbor said hi, he was biking off to work, too.  Except he was going to Clairemont, quite a bit farther away, and quite a bit more difficult than my little ride.

I didn't have any problems on the way.  Well, most of the way.  I was almost there when I decided it would be fun to ride with no hands, something I have done many times.  Well, I found that riding no hands with a loaded pannier on one side of the front fork rack is a VERY bad idea.

Fortunately I went up one driveway and down another.  Otherwise I would have been flat on my face and surely hurt.  Scare me good, but I'm especially glad no one was around to see it!!


The obligatory selfie, at work.

I rode just over seven miles today.  That makes this a seven-mile month, so far!
