Yeah, I think of it as herding cars. I haven't done that in quite a while though. Hulen Street here in Fort Worth used to be part of one of my commute routes home. It is a busy retail area, 2-3 lanes each way with medians but no shoulder or bike lane, so taking the lane is essential.

I guess it wasn't really a relaxing ride home. But in a sort of aggressive, pumping, teeth-gritted way, I enjoyed it. Glad I don't get to have this particular kind of fun too often.
