morning after

I don’t have buyer’s remorse after coming home with a new bike, which is unusual for me. I almost always regret purchases shortly after making them, but perhaps the last two years of not being to make any purchases but the absolute necessities has changed that for me.

I remounted my cyclometer, after calibrating for the new wheel size. There was some fiddling and diddling as I worked out how to make it work again, given the shoddy magnets Sigma ships with this unit.

I would have liked to get out and ride today, but with the young’uns out of school, we went out and did other stuff. Playground first, then off to REI to buy a rain jacket: found one in an iridescent/nausea-inducing yellow-green. Lunch there, a couple of bargains for K and home. I saw a pack of riders at Gasworks park this morning, getting ready to head out along the Burke-Gilman trail.

I may start bike commuting some days, just to get some miles in. The U supplies discounted light kits, so I’ll take ’em up on that this week.
