Hey all, just popping in to say hi. I rode today! First time bike commuting since school started. I pass through three school zones on my route. The first couple close to home were relatively quiet because it wasn't quite drop-off time yet. The last one near work was very busy, and I took advantage of my small size and nimbleness to (safely and unobtrusively) finagle my way around traffic. This past spring, the city installed some "traffic calming" barriers on the road near the school, but I think that made the traffic problem much worse. Two lanes now merge into one, and I often see drivers doing stupid maneuvers to try to claim their place in line.

Anyway, have a great day everyone, and I hope to pop in again soon. I still lurk around occasionally to catch up on how your commutes were, living vicariously through y'all.
