I haven't, actually -- but that may be because I'm in Boston, not in the suburbs. We don't have malls with huge parking lots, so people need to get their retail on in a more distributed fashion, and as the largest college town in America, we're seeing a fair chunk of our population finish exams and blow town. I wouldn't want to be trying to drive to Logan this evening, but other than that it seems like traffic has actually been a bit light lately.

I will freely confess that I don't like the way that many participants in this forum pretend that they can read the minds of everyone who drives a car...but then, a lot of them would have us believe that they can also read the minds of everyone on a bicycle. That's probably why we constantly have threads in which people claim to know the emotions, attitudes and thought patterns of both drivers and other cyclists. Sorry, but I find it tiresome. You don't know what they're thinking, so leave it out.
