Hail and rain
The weather forecast predicted light snowfall which quickly turned into heavy hail and rainfall. Luckily only for the first 25min. After that the sky cleared and water mostly sprayed up from the cycling path.

Technophile problems
Today on my way to work the battery of my rear derailleur ran out of juice.
"No problem" I thought, "just swap in the spare I am carrying."
As it turned out I hadn't charged the spare since the last time I swapped them.
"No problem" I thought, "I can charge them at work with the charger I am also carrying".
So I made it the last two kilometers to work without shifting.
As it turned out I didn't have a micro USB cable at my desk (anymore).
Luckily a colleague had one to charge their bike lights.
Problems I wouldn't have had with a cable actuated derailleur.

The PDW otter cage and wotter bottle
Portland design works donate 10% of the profits from the Otter Cage to Elakha Alliance, an organizations that protect wildlands & wildlife. The bottle features the works if illustrator Valerie Valdivia.
Such a great combo.

It's 15 C outside and technically it's still winter, but even (or especially) elderly citizens commute on bikes. Here's a bike port at the doctor's.

Sunshine on the ride home
13⁰C and sunshine was more than enough reason to ride in shorts again. I was cycling almost effortlessly and just happend to achieve a new 3s Power record without even trying for it
