In Which Lanes Clear Up and Skies are Peachy

Bikers and geese enjoy the morning light at  C Avenue pond Oct. 5.

The biggest news this week is that the branch trucks came Wednesday morning to take the brush away from C Avenue. So, there are not tree trunks blocking the bike lane anymore.

Which is a mixed blessing, because the trucks leave plenty of small sticks behind. Still, it’s an important step forward, and I’ll appreciate it.

It has been a dry and cool week in Cedar Rapids, great biking weather even as the light fades. The mornings are dim now, and it’s not unusual to have my lights on for either the evening commute or the morning commute or both.

Clocks change this weekend and suddenly it will be dark for the ride home. Well, that’s why I have lights.

And this week has been full of pretty views!

  1. We have three more weeks of daylight savings time, so you'll be riding in light for a little while longer. Happy trails!

    1. Yup, not sure why I thought the time change was this soon, but it's not until Nov. 1 in my part of the world.
