My biking brethren in LA have done the ultimate protest. Better than Critical Mass, even.

It was very hot and the VTA train was having problems, so I ended up biking all the way to work, then around a bit at lunch time (free lunch + ride for us cyclists) and then home.

I came to a sad realization... If I want to get cycling shoes that actually fit, I'm going to spend an ton of money. And toe clips aren't made for feet my size.

So I have biked all of the bikeable areas of Rancho San Antonio now. Sadly, there aren't very many. I blame asshole mountain bikers for wrecking too many trails trying to look like the mountain bike advertisements. Many of the trails I know that I could bike without running people down or causing any more wear than a jogger, but I'm just not allowed.

So, first decently long ride on the new bike. I'm not sure exactly how long because the cyclecomputer got confuzzled after a bit about things (needed to be moved down the fork, I think) and thought I'd reached 75mph. Somewhere in the 15-20 mile range.
