I commuted today and someone else in a car blew their horn at me in the same exact spot as yesterday, when I was on a ride with Hirakukibou! This time, they did not cut me off; they were in the right turn lane and I had moved left to go straight. Apparently, I am supposed to hug the curb and get into the left lane like that? Eh, I gave her the finger, but I don't think she saw. It did raise my anxiety for the rest of the day.
I did not feel like riding with my packed pannier and I did not bring my clothes to work on Tuesday, because it was pouring out when I drove in. So, being that it's Friday, and i only had 2 clients, as well as being dead in the office, I rode my Kuota and wore my Terry city commuter shorts and a lycra t shirt, that's stylish. Unfortunately, I had to stuff a very light pair of shoes in my backpack, and that was kind of too much, but I made it. I left them at work and rode home with a much lighter pack. The few other colleagues thought I looked fine, but it was a bit too casual for me. I should have worn my cycling dress with a shrug, because it was hotter than hell and humid on the way home and that t shirt did not cut it!
