I must have been in a weird mood today because I did something pretty stupid. I was riding in the bike lane at about 21mph when I noticed that the car traffic was doing about 25. So I dropped in behind a Jeep Cherokee and drafted it until it got up to about 32mph. I was focusing on the brake lights, and could see through the windshield to the traffic up ahead. Plus I had an escape route so it wasn't totally suicidal. I could see the passengers turn around and point at me. It was fun. But stupid. Kids, don't try this at home.
