Moar bike commuting

With the vehicles in the shop, the bike is my only option right now ... And the weather is conducive, so, legs pumping is the order of the day. I picked up:

• ABUS Ivera Chain 7210/110 Sparkling Bicycle Lock ($65); well reviewed (I’m usually not away from my bike for any length of time, but this lets me pop in for, e.g., groceries, with less anxiety)
• Gieury Carry On Backpack, 50L for $33 I don’t expect it’ll last forever, and I’m mostly using my Timbuk2 bags for daily stuff, but if I need to take a box to the post office or the UPS store, or if I’m stocking up on bulkier groceries, this works well.

Finally, randomly, I ran into a mobile bicycle service and repair business, Out Front Cycles. Which could be just the thing I need, since I think my bottom bracket is going out again.
