    I am just super jealous of your warm weather!! Shorts....no sleeves....ahhhh... I can't wait.
    Hey you can have some of our hot weather. We have just struggled through the second hottest summer on record. I am over the heat and can't wait for some cool Autumn days.

    Love all the stories. Good to know I'm not the only cyclist that has some bad days when getting sorted for a ride.
    The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

    I've posted this before but it's a classic.

    I had cycled to my usual birdwatching spot and when it was time to leave realized I had just one cycling glove on. I looked everywhere -- seemed odd because I usually don't take gloves off.

    The glove was nowhere to be found -- until I got home and discovered it on the floor. I had apparently left home with just one glove.

    I will say in defense of my sanity, it was summer. I hope I would have noticed sooner in winter.

    I once left my seat bag at home...with all my flat-fixing gear. Went on ride anyway. Thankfully, no flats! The one time I did get a flat, I discovered that I only had 1 CO2 cartridge, rather than the two that I thought I had.

    I also left my water bottles in the car once. I wondered why the bike handled so nicely. Luckily I realized it less than 2 miles in, so it didn't take me very long to get back to the car.
    At least I don't leave slime trails.

    Funny!

    This actually reminded me of a funny thing my friend did (who I won't name) with her gloves. She is a fairly new cyclist and had just bought some of the gear she needed before we did a ride together on the bike trail. We had been riding along about an hour or so and she stopped...and noticed she actually had her gloves on upside down - with the padding on the top of her hand.... Neither one of us had noticed when she put them on.

    I am always doing things like every one has mentioned, but my most recent oopsie was when I came home from a ride, hauled out the keys and then tried to unlock the front door with the car clicker.

    That's so funny! One day we will all have front doors that will open with clickers!
