Yay! And such pretty shades of blue. :-)

I rode today but yesterday was a "fun" ride, we as fun as it could be with a still recovering sprained ankle (I was cleared to do so!).

But the amount of snow birds out and crash was pretty amazing.  People taking turns to fast, hitting their front brakes too hard, no knowing how to control the bike on wet surfaces....I asked each time if people were OK, but it was kind of weird.

Got a blow out from beer bottle shatter in the Oak Street underpass this morning!

Damn you St. Pats revelers!

Revelers??? Those people are amateurs that can't hold their liquor past noon!  

Rode LFT to Hyde Park and back yesterday. Lots of broken glass. Would have been much worse had I ridden city streets the entire way. I'm sure my tire savers saved my tubulars a couple times...

Got my second flat in a week yesterday. We need a hard rain or more street cleaners to wash that debris out of the bike lanes.

Probably would have had my third flat today if I hadn't noticed the tiny piece of glass embedded under my tread. It only became visible after I fully inflated. I had prodded and folded the tire during the fix looking for any puncture remnants, but it was well hidden.

Time for some new tread I guess

No flats (knock wood) but riding around yesterday I saw glass all over on the streets.  Clearly the St. Pat's day revelers were everywhere.

I also saw lots of glass in the lanes. Happens every spring, two years ago I got 2 flats within one week.

Got in my first ride to work all winter. A lot of glass and potholes along the way. Good thing street cleaning starts next month. 

> Got in my first ride to work all winter.

Huck, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I think you missed winter. :-)

Um technically winter ends on the 21st amIright? Where is the pushes up glasses emoji when you need it? But yeah, I just don't ride in the winter. I can run all winter but the riding not so much. 

Ride home was DUSTY!!! Some rain is definitely needed. Still felt nice riding home in the warm.
