Last weekend we changed from CST to DST. This changed my morning commute from riding in with the sunrise to riding in the pitch black. This sign is lit by both my camera flash and my 10w headlight.
Tuesday I scored a deal on a new rear wheel from the local craigslist. Since I was biking I needed to haul it home via bike. I'm really loving this rear basket. I didn't have any bungee cords but the nylon webbing from my messenger bag made a handy substitute.
Friday I worked from home. I took the opportunity to escort my girls to school via bicycle. The previous day they had dinked around enough in the AM that they missed the bus. Their mean old mom made them walk (with her) to school rather than bailing them out via car. They were not happy. So by comparison, biking to school was great. For the record, it's a mile from our house to the school Oh, the cruelty!
Just like the Three Speed Tour, there's no shame in walking hills when riding your bike to school.
I rode back to school at noon with mean old mom to see the girls recite poetry with the rest of their class.
This may be one of the most under-utilized bike racks ever. Even when it's gorgeous in the spring and fall there are never any bikes there.
Because it was Saturday I got to go in to work later than usual. The one good thing about this day was I got to see a nice sunrise while waiting for the train.

But it's uphill -- both ways!
Cool photos ... good deal, taking the kids to school via bicycle. I used to ride to school sometimes when I was a kid, and loved it. That seems like that's happening less and less.
I am mean and cruel, and don't you forget it! Rrrrr.
There aren't enough pink bikes in the world.
