No freezing rain this morning as was forecasted. In fact, it had stopped raining by the time I left. I was dressed way too warm w/ long johns and rain proof pants, the combination of which somehow felt really tight and binding. I wore the clipless shoes b/c the roads were still wet and I didn't want to slip off the pedals. Since I barely wear these clipless shoes and am not used to unclipping, it was an adventure when I had to come to sudden stops. I only fell over once on to a taxi as I was unclipping and had to put my hand out to steady myself long enough to put my foot down. I laughed it off and kept going. No transit strike today, or at least it's not a general strike so traffic was normal which is to say packed in some places and flowing in others. Had a yelling match w/ a Brit who I had to stop for as he kept walking directly at me. He mumbled something, I said, "What was that?", he told me to "******** cheer up!" and I told him to "******** piss off!". Is this Friday doing it's best impersonation of Monday?
