Beautiful sunny day in Austin, TX and the roads definately seemed less congested than usual. Maybe people are making it a long weekend or something, but it didn't seem like there were as many people out and about, and I didn't have to deal with a single honker the whole ride in. I took a different route in today and really liked it, I think I'm going to take the new way from now own. It's slightly longer (.5mi) but much less crazy traffic. Plus, it takes me through several different parts of Austin so the views are nice (Hyde Park, Campus, Capital, Downtown, Caesar Chavez, East Side, etc.) I'm back on the fixed gear bike after swapping the bottom bracket (the other one somehow got water in it and was corroding) which was fun. As nice as it is to coast and be able to drop to a lower gear, I still get around faster and have more fun on my fixed gear bike. My average speed was 16.8mph and I got into work in about 51 minutes.
