The exercise and scenery are really nice and this commute bring me into a different town which is philly. I work in the heart of the city and enjoy the commute but one thing I've been doing is just slowing down at red lights and watching for incoming traffic. If there is traffic, I stop and out a leg down. If not, I slow down and roll through.

For the folks who commute in big cities, what do you do?
