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.

Strangely, seeing this chart in #HomeAssistant is a very strong motivator to keep me cycling the #BikeCommute throughout the year, whatever the weather

Slight weather change overnight left me confused. So many pretty flowering trees in Centennial Park that I had to stop and admire them despite the cold. And a bus parked in the bike lane on the way home. #BikeTooter #BikeCommute

Quick test ride today. Looks like we can get back on the #BikeCommute next week

#BikeToooter

A big welcome back to all the fair weather boys and girls, and a friendly wave to all of you pulling your dusty bike out of the shed for the first time since last July because you want to save petrol. #BikeCommute

There's this thing called #Frostpendeln which is all about showing that you can commute by bicycle through the winter. Here, this winter has been mostly Eisfrei compared with the hardcore Europeans and northern United Statesians but there has been a lot of Regnet in Strömen.🤿

Stats for last winter:

109 rides
3430.7km
