I spent 100+ USD to change the bike tires of the road bike, felt I need to use it for the money's worth. Hence I have been riding it a lot lately (30 min ride? not quite a lot)

The new tires, 700×28 felt good, at least the expensiveness give me confidence, compared to the old 700×23.

It was quite windy on the bridge. I saw a family ride, mom on a 24-inch, dad, sister and little brother (on e-scooter). The little brother is at the forefront, the sister is resting on a bench, dad looks back worried. I also saw a mom with a little kid on assist wheel. The road is quite good, except I didn't explore at the end of the road (there is no easy access to the beach). Maybe one day I will take xiaobao here.

It is quite loud on the bridge, the wind and the mostly the traffic. I cannot listen to podcast, and the podcast is not really interesting, bummer.

It felt good. I didn't have to plan too much, just ride around. Then after you gain some experience, you can ride more.
