This a.m.'s commute was fun b/c there was a pretty good tailwind ... unusual. The traffic lights cancelled any gain from that, though.

Two idiot bikers forced me out of my lane and into a busy roadway b/c (of course) they were riding the wrong way.

I saw a "pro" biker -- shaved legs and all -- speeding up First Street. I kept up with him but we had different styles for certain. I clearly understood the traffic light patterns better than he did and waved goodbye to him as I did one of those turn-right-and-U-turn-to-catch-the-light-instead-of-turning-left gigs. Worked like a charm.
