| It doesn't look like it was at night because the shopping center is way over-lit. But as soon as I left the parking lot, my lights were barely adequate. |

So, since that was exhausting to re-live and for you to peruse, here are my quick lessons learned overall.
1. This was a lot of fun. Shows me how easy it is to do errands via the bike.
2. When I'm challenged, it is suddenly NOT too cold or too wet to ride.
3. There IS such a thing as too dark for me to ride and I know that now.
4. I'm not going to invest in high dollar lights to remedy #3. My schedule is such that I can do all my errands in the day.
5. No dinners via bicycle since I'm the only one in the family riding bikes. Maybe during the summer I can get my son to go with me. Of course I can - if I'm buying dinner!
6. After looking at other Errandonneurs' blogs, I am so glad I live in the South. Even though it was 26 as I was riding home, I wasn't jumping snow drifts or dodging ice patches.
More observations tomorrow. Probably not a bit more insightful than these. ;-) Happy Presidents' Day!
