How Was Your Commute Today?

I also think that commute counts, Tri Girl.

The roads are still narrow because of snow banks, but I had plenty of room, even some shoulder most of the way. No one had any difficulty passing me, but a couple of kids in a car did slow down next to me on a road that was otherwise empty right then, and the boy said something out the window (which, as you know, you can never hear since sound doesn't carry that way). I kept my eyes on the road, ignoring him. No idea what he said, but he looked like a jerk. I felt sorry for the girl passenger, and wanted to tell her she could do better. They then slowed in front of me, probably wanting a reaction, which they didn't get. Ignoring them worked, and they sped off.

Evening commute was fun. It was twilight, and I used my new Bell Arella helmet with the attached Blackburn Flea lights. I seemed to get plenty of room by cars, so I think the tail light was effective, and I only used one (it has 3). It wasn't quite dark enough for the front light until I got home, but it lit up the driveway really well. It will definitely be enough light for my commute.
