Yep, getting our first frosty night tonight. We don't get hard freezes down here, just cold. Got the gloves, long shirt and spandex pants and windbreaker for tomorrow. Yes, I plan to bicycle.
Coming home was an experience...heavy headwinds, then nearly mowed down by a Hummer that ran a red fully 5 seconds after it went red. I overruled my better judgment and followed, and actually caught up at the next red light. I came off the curb, parked my bike in front of her and walked to the *open* driver's window.
She: I know.
Me: WHAT do you know?
She: *confused look*
Me: You nearly killed me when you ran that red light.
She: sorry
Me: Sorry? SORRY? *shakes head*
Hops on bike, parting shot includes some F and C words. Back on sidewalk and gone before the light changes.
As the Hummer drives away I notice the emergency flashers are going, and the thing is making some awful squealing sounds. I can't imagine what she hit or ran over to skew the front end alignment fully 20 degrees off, but I hope it wasn't a bicyclist.
