Bad commute day

[owlectomy]

Half the roads are being resurfaced. Which meant that I had to take a detour in one part, and had to ride on really rough roads in another part. (I will be grateful for this next week, I'm sure.)

One guy blared his horn for so long that I felt compelled to respond, "I AM RIDING LEGALLY AND FOLLOWING ALL RULES OF THE ROAD." Another guy leaned out his car and started yelling at me for I don't know what reason. I couldn't even hear him.

Someone turned left in front of me so closely that I was very, very lucky I managed to stop in time. I think in the future I will just have to anticipate that no car going in the opposite direction from me will ever (a) see me (b) realize they have to yield when turning left.

My pants leg came unrolled and nearly got caught in my chain.

Not a great time.

I am glad I'm keeping up with it too, although I feel like I'm still in the "Am I going to die, and is it less hassle to take the bus?" trial period!

But I had a really good ride to Marine Park on Sunday, and I'm actually quite excited about the prospect of taking longer rides as I get a little better at hills, so... we'll see!
