We had a thunderstorm very early this morning. It cleared up by the time I was out of the shower, so I figured I would put my new fenders to the test, and really wanted the ride anyway. I got in to the office right on time, and found out that the whole transit system was a disaster; the subways were barely moving at all. I never would have made it in if I hadn't taken my bike. When everyone else finally got there, between one and three hours late, boy did I gloat.
