Traffic was very light this morning due to schools being closed and people taking off early for Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, that didn't translate into a faster commute because I caught all of the long red lights. My legs are also very tired and could use a few days of rest, which I will get over the holiday as I'll be out of town with no bike for 3 days.

My commute home yesterday was interesting, with huge traffic jams on all of the major roads. Apparently there was a bad wreck on one of the main thoroughfares, which caused a ripple effect. The traffic barely affected my commute time at all because I mainly ride on side streets, but it was interesting seeing all of the jams when crossing larger roads. It was one of those days when it might have actually been quicker to commute by bike than by car.
