On my commute home yesterday, I was surprised again that the drivers gave me lots of room. Even when I took the left turn lane, no honks. Heh, unfortunately my bike didn't trigger the advanced green, so only I had time to make my left turn before oncoming traffic came barreling down. It probably won't be often that I'm the lead vehicle in the lane, but if I find that I am for 50% or more of my rides then I may cross as a ped. Oh yeah, and the weather was a nice sunny 21 degrees, totally perfect weather with little wind.

This morning's ride was warm enough that I got a little too hot in my fleece-lined windbreaker, but I kept it on because I didn't have anywhere to put it. No trouble from cars. There's a 30% chance of showers and a chance of thunderstorms this afternoon, I hope I miss it!
