mousmeOkay, it's technically not spring until Friday, but I took out my bicycle today and rode it to work. I am very pleased.
I am not in quite as good shape as I was last summer when I was cycling every day, but I did make it all the way up the hill that gave me problems the first few times last year, so I feel vindicated.
It's a glorious day, and I am feeling very virtuous.
I do wish, however, that it hadn't taken quite as long for me to get my stuff together today. I had to get the bike out of the shed, find my panniers, fix the chain which had come off the... umm... spiky turny thing whose name escapes me, and transfer a bunch of stuff out of my purse and into my panniers. Then I had to find my colder-weather cycling gear, pack my work clothes, and generally do stuff that I had taken for granted last year because it had become habit.
I'm pretty sure that now that I have all my ducks in a row it'll go faster. For the moment, though, I kind of felt like I was flailing around like a headless chicken.
Negotiating packing my lunch in all this was an added complication as well. Still, I prevailed, and here I am at work, none the worse for wear.

Can it be fixed?
