Hey!

Good to see you are still with us Inkwolf

My commutes have been a bit mixed. Last evening a car, impatient to pass another who was turning right (we drive on the left, mostly) tried to squeeze by on the left, but simply got stuck, blocking my path on the bike lane. Then 50 yards down the road the same car signalled to turn right, but looped out to the left and stopped, mostly blocking the bike lane again. At this point I'd had enough, so I rapped on the door as I passed, and said "thank you very much". I got a honk for my trouble

This morning, the level (railroad) crossing on the last stretch of road from my workplace was closed (I was within a 1/2 mile). The detour took another 15 mins, and there was a strong headwind blowing most of the way. Lucky I was early, and I got some more riding in!
