You attack me constantly on this. For future reference Philly and Wilmington are not riding
envirnoments that I speak of other than Philly being dangerous. In those people are stopped
for longer than they are driving. I worked at MBNA, I know Wilmingon traffic. A skateboard can
get through Wilmingon quicker than a car.
We are discussing holding up moving traffic. Going 12mph when the rest of the traffic is at 40 or
45.
Go take the lane on I-95 to try to get a better understanding of what is being discussed.
I am in Delaware for only the first 5 minutes of my commute. I'm so far outside of Wilmington that I might as well list Chadds Ford, home of the entitled SUV/BMW owner and their kids who drive to school on the same roads that I ride to work, as my location. In order, the roads are a 45 mph arterial (2 lanes each way), a 45 mph arterial (one lane each way), a 35 mph narrow backroad, then 25 mph backroads where those entitled people and their children go 35-50. I'm far from moving at the speed of traffic unless I encounter the mailman or the garbage trucks. I do get delayed at intersections usually by the same people who just passed me but I get over it because if I wanted to be at work a few minutes earlier I would have left a few minutes earlier.
