Another uneventful commute. The way I like 'em!

Yesterday afternoon I was stuck directly behind a pair of street sweepers. They were not cleaning but put putting to their next destination. Anyhow, I was behind the 2nd one and by god their exhaust stinks!
After a few minutes of riding so slow that my brakes were constantly being used I spied a very wide coned off brand new sidewalk. Incidentally, this is a construction area.
So, deciding that I needed to break my string of VC law abiding riding, I hopped onto the sidewalk and sped past the street cleaners on the right going 25 mph on a sidewalk for roughly 1000 feet. So far that is my most creative means of getting out of a traffic jam. The cars stuck behind the street sweeper must have loved it...not. Now to be flamed by all our law abiding cyclists.....
