Yep to the danger mentoned above about side streets crossing the main road on which we are pedaling. They are, without a doubt, the roads from which come my worst automobile encounters.

Nice ride this morning. I had to leave a half hour early to be here for a meeting. It resulted in a much better traffic pattern than when I aim for 8AM arrival. Tomorrow will require about the same thing as I have a customer coming in who will be here at 8. The only downside is that it is dark the whole way in. But, that's not a problem, IMO.
