I didn't commute by biking to work today. With 4 bikes you'd think I'd have no excuse yet... All my bikes were down! I didn't know that until I stepped into the garage at 6AM this morning. I have two bikes that were ready to ride last evening. This morning both had flat rear tires. The Dahon has a slow leak. The Globe was flat from rim corrosion. I patched the tube and re-taped the rim holes. Of course I flatted out the Cruzbike last weekend. And the Bianchi is still down from the crash...
I gave away a bike this past Winter, the 1990 Royce Union. I've not seen that bike on the road since...Ginny and I have 7 bikes. Two are stationary and 5 are outdoor bikes. The four bikes set-up for me were all down. I suppose I could have taken Ginny's bike to work... With any regard it seems that my April Mileage goal is unachievable!

Given that you'd have had crosswinds gusting over 30 MPH, today was a good day for this to happen.

Bruce you're spot on! Of course Wednesday and Thursday have had grueling wind conditions too!! If I can do 50 miles on Friday I will have made 600 miles in April, -and finish the month with a 200 mile week to boot! I do need to find some time for bike maintenance and yard work too!!
