As I was leaving the office, I noticed a woman down the block riding her bike on the sidewalk and two guys having a smoke near me. As the woman passed, one of the smokers said, "Get on the street with that thing!". This is the exact opposite from what I usually read here. Then he mumbled something to his friend about sidewalk riders and knocking them off their bikes.

The ride home was the usual mess of traffic with lots of zig zagging across 5-6 lanes of traffic. Sometimes, the bike feels like an extension of my body, like today.
