I returned to biking to work today, after a break of what has turned out to be months. Some things that I had forgotten about, even missed, over those months:

+Cold, lung-searing morning air
+Garbage trucks
+Getting passed by other bikers
+Attempting to not race other bikers
+Definitely not racing in dress clothes
+Definitely not sweaty, sticky, overheated, and generally unprepared for work upon arrival
+Oakland, up close and personal
