Lovely, crisp, sunny -2°C this morning. This is my second commute by bike since busting a couple of ribs at the end of November. Last week I still had the stem pulled right up to the minimum insertion line, but I put it back down yesterday and the bike feels purposeful and fast again (edit: and it didn't hurt!). 7 weeks off the bike means I've lost a lot of fitness and it's amazing how vulnerable and unfamiliar it makes you feel when you're on your normal route. Good to be back out though.
