In one year, total mileage on my Cannondale Quick almost doubled from 5,280 miles in 2024 to 9,229 miles. More trips to Salem, Marshfield and Waltham contributed to the spike, but it's mostly from bicycle delivery gigs.

Okay, feels like -5° is a bit rough.

Ridiculous jobs like mine can be enlightening. Tonight's lesson: I can endure cycling in 5° weather (no wind or rain).

Someone stole the handlebar bracket to my front lamp, as well as the snot rags from my front pouch. WTF is the point of that?

Tempted every time.

The Kittie Knox bike lane in Kendall Square is blocked by eternal construction.

Haven and I bike raced to the Capitol Theater Building to see Ant Man and the Wasp in 2018. Haven won by at least four blocks, but the three-mile contest might've been more competitive without my pre- #operationlardbuster weight.

Mass. Ave at Cameron in Cambridge: I literally saw the driver put the blinkers on and walk out to a building like the #bikelane is #justanotherplacetopark.

Getting to Greenbush from Marshfield took almost 10 minutes longer than last Sunday. That's from the colder weather and riding into 25mph winds.

Getting to Greenbush from Marshfield was a chilly ride, but the "moment has been prepared for."

Rode to Marshfield yesterday instead taking the train because of the nice weather.

First ride to Marshfield of the year. Leaving damn near noon meant not getting to Corner Cafe on time. Recovered at Ocean House.

Decided on a whim to bike through the rain to Shine's to watch the Celtics and draw. Turns out the game's tomorrow and I forgot my markers.

Returning to the scene of the crime: I rode full speed into the chains between two pilons on a dark and foggy night last week.

I put 4,674 miles on my Cannondale Quick in 18 months (June 2023-present). For comparison, it took eight years to put 3,799 miles on my old Raleigh Detour 3.5 (2015-2023).

I bought my Cannondale Quick 3 for $835 in June 2023, clocking 446 hours on it so far (at 4,674 miles). That roughly works out to $1.87 an hour, which is basically free.

This brings my total mileage on this Cannondale I bought in May 2023 to 4,349 miles in 1,542 rides.

Took a header last night when my tire got caught in the tracks on South Huntington Ave. at Huntington. No cuts or broken bones this time, but I lost one of my Airpods.

Facebook, how the fuck does bragging about my Bedford bike ride on my own goddamn page qualify as spam?

My bike has over 3,000 miles since May 2023 and still feels like new. At 62 years old, I'm very happy about this.
