My commute is a short 9 Mile each way to work from Malden MA to Wakefield MA. I commute on a main street with two way traffic. At first I thought 9 miles was pretty long, but now after two months of doing it is really short.

I love commuting during traffic times because there a 2 mile stretch where there a stop light every like 20 feet or so it seems, and its the most fun part of my commute because I get to do some safe weaving between cars. I also get alot of people looking at me funny, or yelling something to me because they are mad im either waiting at the light or on the bike. I just give them the biggest smile and constantly pass them at each light. There a section where all the cars move close to the right of the road on both sides leaving the middle of the road wide open. This part I love the most because after weaving in and out of traffic for a bit, I get to ride in the middle of the street with cars on on both sides of me going in different directions...its my "safe" approach to NYC messenger riding style.
