Rode my 1973 Schwinn 3-speed. Just can't bring myself to lock the Riv outside on the streets of NYC all day.

Rode my single-speed Bomba (my only bike at the moment... mmm, well I do have a Cannondale F1000sl that's been hanging in the rafters for a bit). I ride it every day to and from work, which totals just about 11 miles or so. Helps me get out of bed at 2am. Puts a big fat grin on my face riding through Jingletown on to Alameda and finally to Bay Farm Island at that nutty hour in the morning. Most of the trouble makers don't give a hoot about a dude on a bike at that time of the morning, and the traffic is delicious. I run 44x16x29er to get through the dicier 'hoods (they're all flat in East Oakland) a bit more efficiently.

Nope. Wasn't at work on Friday. At a music camp in southern Minnesota. However, did ride bike that day. About 47 miles on my newest steel steed. But not a Rivendell.

[RBW] Re: Did you ride your Rivendell to work on Friday?
I did - I ride my Quickbeam to work every day, but it's just two
miles.
We recently put in bike hooks, because both my bosses ride to work,
and when the new programmer started riding in, the entrance was almost
impassable with bikes. A nice position to be in, if you like
transportational bikes.
In an attempt to make this interesting... I hang my bike from the rear
wheel because that seems to make the most of the limited space. To
keep the Carradice Junior strapped to my bars from dumping everything
onto the floor when I get my lunch ("AAGH! Fibber McGee's closet!"), I
unstrap the rear buckle from the stem and let it swing freely.
Congratulations on getting back on the bike - that can be a great
relief after five weeks.
Philip
