It seemed to have gotten worse by the time I got into the building. I met a fellow bike commuter on the elevator on the way upstairs and he took a look at it and was also convinced that my hub was loose and in need of some tightening. He cautioned me to stop riding it until it was fixed.

I had my wife come get me and the bike at around 11 or so and we went straight to Champaign Cycle to have my hub looked at. The mechanic took a look at it, wobbled the front wheel and proceed to tighten my loose quick release.

Ahhh … lessons in humility.
