How Was Your Commute Today?

[e.e.cummings]

I enjoy biking into the sunrise of a new day, but I don't like biking home into the darkness

Let me second that - I was thinking the exact same thing today - beautiful morning, then dark in the evenings can be dodgy - particularly if there is black ice around.

Living in dread of stopping my commute by cycle for winter weather- I have been very good this year, I have only taken my car on a couple of occasions since April. I have not taken monthly parking for a long time. Nice to save that money. Looking back on it, I have ridden in everything - high winds that I thought would blow me off the path, driving rain, melting heat, freezing temperatures - but tomorrow's forecast for freezing rain might make me leave the bike on the hook (if the forecast is actually correct). I take a bike path to work - once it fills up after the first snow, it's car time.

This morning's commute was amazing - it was cold, but not a cloud in the sky, not a breath of wind. Black ice here or there, but nothing to be too concerned about. It is a bummer that it gets dark so early.
