Commute + 1

Date: Oct 11 Thurs
Mileage: 15 (LHT)
October mileage: 166
Year to date: 1767
Temps: 49 a.m./60 p.m. Sunny

Nothing special about the commute today except that another member of the work crew- we'll call her "BB"- joined the commuting world today. She spent about $100 getting her mtbike commuter suitable: road tires (prob 1.75" or even 2"), rear rack, front and back blinkies, and a brake and shifter tweak. On face value her chain isn't particularly well-lubed, so I don't know how much work they did. It's fascinating to ride with someone who isn't "road savvy". 'BB' sort of randomly turns, changes lanes and weaves around. She's not a bad cyclist, but not an experienced urban commuter. She seemed to enjoy herself and she'll get better.
