Nicer ride in today – packed my rain gear for the ride home. Rode behind the street sweeper on Packard. Great that it sweeps up the broken beer bottles left behind from the apartment dwellers along Packard. Wish it could fix the potholes in the bike lanes! Don’t get me wrong – I’m glad that I have my own lane, but the cars don’t understand when I have to go out of my lane to avoid the potholes! Its different when they swerve into my lane to avoid cars turning left. There. I said it. For the most part I enjoy my ride into work in spite of the obstacles!
