odometer
I'm back-dating this because I don't think anyone besides me is likely to care.
I decided I trust my odometer reading after all. I looked back in my notes file, and my odometer legitimately read 858 at the start of the season in March. My guess for how many km I'd gone since then is within 20km of the odometer reading. So whatevs. I've been tracking kms since then and it hasn't jumped in the night (or Rover's managed to figure out how to take joyrides more carefully).
The odometer rolled over to 200km on my way home from work today.
Sunday's fun ride was up to Beechwood Zehrs, 11km in 40 minutes. Which included 8 minutes inside the store. So, 16.5km/hr. including walking in the store; or 20.6km/hr. actually on the bike. There were a few stoplights, too.
I've had two flat (rear) tires in the last week, entirely because I patched a flat badly (there was a seam in the tire that I tried to file down, but the patch seems to have not sealed around the seam anyway.) I said to hell with it and replaced the tire after the second flat. And I bought myself a much better bike pump too.
