Note to self: Find cute little colored caps! 

And IDK why they'd be tight - my bike's pretty new (got it in November brand new.) 

Verrrrrrry strange. 

Rule 60: 

You are not, under any circumstances, to employ the use of the washer-nut and valve-stem cap that come with your inner-tubes or tubulars. They are only supplied to meet shipping regulations. They are useless when it comes to tubes and tires.

That said, I grew up with them, and still use them today.

Oooo thanks! It is a presta valve. Do I even really need those caps? Is it advisable to keep them? They seem silly since they don't do anything really?

finally a skirt riding day!

Changin' my answer: YES! I rented a Divvy over my lunch break and rode around to soak in some nice weather :) I'll be riding home as well. I REALLY need to just suck it up and buy a Divvy membership already. I wish there was a monthly rental option... I'd gladly pay $10-12 a month, but $75 is kinda tough to pony up all at once with my student loans. 

oh yes, Shorts, T-Shirt, Vans.. suck it, Winter.

Winter is D E A D.  I was sweating inside of one long T and jeans.  From now on its shorts at... mmm... 50° and above.  Saw some more cyclists... smooth ride, think had bit tailwind...  for some reason I was like, skidding just for fun when id come to a stoplight.  Must be my inner 8 yr. old self surfacing.  Stupid head.

Absolutely perfect cycling weather.

Imagine how much you would have sweated with a nice headwind. :-) There is a small craft warning until 10am today. There was a southerly headwind this morning going in, and it looks like it will clock on me and be a northerly headwind going home as well.

I foolishly thought I should wear a best this am with short sleeve shirt, shorts and gloves. My quads being idiots said "this is beautiful, let's go!". Silly quads. I'm a stinky sweaty mess.

Let's see what the midday rain does to the wind.  I'm hoping it won't switch.

I hope you're right, but the NWS seems to think it will change directions.

My phones been telling me it's been raining all day. Idk what to believe anymore about the weather. Even NWS has moved their rain forecast multiple times. Is it even going to rain? Who knows.
