Work commute

I rode to work all five days this week. My new year of riding didn’t start out too well. I got five miles from home Monday morning and flatted on the rear tire. There’s nothing more fun than fixing a flat on a January morning in the dark.

I didn’t find anything in the tire, replaced the tube and rode on to work. I got there two minutes before starting time. The tire stayed up all day, but when I started for home, it went down again, slowly this time. I pumped it up three times to get home, got the tire off in better light at home, and found a sliver of glass.

I bought a new tool box for work last week, and and have been wanting to drive to work to haul it in, but with next week’s dire forecasts, I figured I’d better ride while I can.
