Bike Wrap-up

daI've decided I'm done biking for the season. This evening, not only have I lost my ear-protection (second set this fall) but my front light died and my derailleur seized up. Also it needs a tune-up badly.
Last year, I put away the bike away on November 15, just after buying the AirZound horn. Since then I've used it zero times in traffic, which is a statistic I'm OK with. This morning's near-miss, I was close enough that my voice alerted the driver, and I was too busy steering and braking to honk.
[Total mileage: odometer has [5]895mi now, had [5]035mi at the start of the season, which was mid May. 866mi = 1390km since then, or 7km a day. That seems high, except I biked to work nearly every day, 7.2km, and the Quaker meetinghouse is 9km, and I biked to various evening events once or twice a month too.]
