How Was Your Commute Today?

[Melalvai]

Today's commute was all about alternative transportation for me. My bike was out of commission (see the stripped bolt thread in "maintenance"!) so I walked to work. My bike mechanic could take care of the stripped bolt in the evening, so I walked home, loaded the one-wheeled bike on the car, tossed the other wheel inside, and drove out to his house.

The drive was interesting, because I so rarely drive anymore. The walk was more interesting. I rarely walk to work in the summer, and I discovered a neighborhood that has the most beautiful hollyhocks on both sides of the street. Pretty!

Pouring rain for yesterday's commute. My sleeves filled up like water balloons, and even my socks were wet, but it was awesome since it wasn't cold or windy. The only part I don't like about riding in the rain is dealing with a dirty wet bike, but once it's wet, it's wet. Might as well enjoy it.
