A beautiful day, had a end of summer adventure route planned & wifey also have plans. This was a fun cycling week. Almost 700 miles for August! There should be other opportunities before snow settles on the pavement. I’ve been struggling 1. trying to correct my bad riding form; locking elbows 2. Paralyzed by ongoing violence in our city & neighborhoods 3. It’s not practical clipped-in shoes in the hood. From uneven pavement to situations requires quick maneuvering. Worn cleats 3x outdoors since purchase in 2021; fell 2x both at stop sign/light 🤷🏾‍♂️ too old to fall attached to a bicycle. I’ll be happy when park district complete construction of Jackie Robinson field house. Track completion at Union St but left street a mess! Shattered glass everywhere along Southbound Major Taylor trail. Back to work tomorrow.
