I just finished a 9.841km cycling that lasted about 0hh:30mm:14ss !
I don't know where the summer went, but I think it's gone. It's still hot, mind you, but the college kids are back and clogging up the roads, which is a clear indication that summer has come and gone. Damn.
I really don't mind the kids being oot and aboot, and I really dont' mind them skateboarding or riding as well, but for crying out loud, at least do it on the correct side of the road. Riding in the bike lane the wrong direction is just going to get one of us hurt.
Now, that said, the ride was short because I discovered that my rear wheel is way off balance, so the bike is apparently in need of a tune up. It could use one anyway since it hasn't had it this year. I'm going to aim to do that Thursday night at the local Bike Project.
During my ride, however, I did come across this fire hydrant with an awesome attachment attachingly attached to it. It's certainly not a new hydrant, but the one next to it is.

I checked out your exhaust page and I forgot that I put one up too, but, I never tag it! :(
Good luck with the bike tune-up. Here in the Metro area, the police give out tickets to bikers all the time, even making them go to court!
The police here are pretty good, with the sole exception of riding the wrong way down Main Street, or riding on the sidewalks, particularly on Main Street. Personally I think they need to be even more rigid about it; as someone who occasionally needs to drive down Main Street, it's awful to see a cyclist coming at you with nowhere to get out of the way.
That is why they ticket them here. They even have bike lanes on all the roads. You have seen them here. Especially places like Arlington and right out of the city, Big, major bike lanes. And yet, they still pedal, going the wrong way in the roadway.
Le sigh
