Biking 53:18 [1] 20.9 km (23.5 kph) +137m
Easy Sunnybrook loop; there were lots of pedestrians out on the path, so I had to go quite slowly. I wanted to take it easy in any case to test out my wheel fix.
In other news, I finally fixed my broken spoke. It turns out my spoke wasn't broken; it had unscrewed itself from the nipple. Unfortunately, the nipple then retreated into the wheel, which was a sealed space only accessible via the hole for the inner tube stem. I could hear the bolt rattling around, and I managed to shake it loose out of the tube stem hole. However, the bolt had to be threaded through the bolt hole from inside the rim. So, I made a tiny weight from some of Katie's old jewelry, tied it to a long piece of dental floss, used the weight to thread the dental floss through the rim, tied the bolt to the end of the floss, and pulled the bolt into place using the floss. I then used my spoke wrench to screw the spoke into place and roughly true it. It took a while, but everything seemed to be in order.
In other news, I need to replace my brake pads, as they have worn down significantly. It felt glorious to be back on my bike - and in my shiny new bike jersey, now with pockets on my back.
