This entire week I've had wonderful weather in the morning, temps in the low 60s. Mid 70s for the ride home, warm enough to work up a decent sweat. Almost no traffic in the morning at 6 to 6:30am through the west side of Chicago. Coming home at around 4pm is another story. Had a van cross two lanes of traffic to make a right turn in front of me last night - he had to know I was there because he had passed me a few blocks sooner. But in Chicago I've had people who I've made eye contact with pull out in front of me, as to say "I"m in a car and bigger than you, so you have to hit your brakes and stop for me".
