Ugh. Humid, no breeze, a few drops of rain here and there and heat and exhaust emanating off cars that looked like they'd been randomly scattered and left behind by a giant child. Was faster than yesterday, but I squeezed through at least two tight spots at intersections where the crossing traffic hadn't cleared the intersection and the cars in my direction were squeezing around them.

Last night I left a little later than usual and found my bike re-positioned so the rear wheel now stuck out in the street. The jackass that's locking up and hogging the spot probably did it. I may do the same to his bike when I leave today.

edit: Saw a commuter on a tall bike. Made me wonder what he did when he had to stop for traffic. Lean against a bus or truck?
