I had to drive today because I needed my vehicle at work. However, once again, I was left feeling that it is more dangerous driving to work than riding my bike. Halfway to work on the busy 6-lane highway I travel, the traffic came screeching to a crawl. Five of the 6 lanes were blocked, so it took a long time to get around the wreckage. Several ambulances were on the scene putting people on stretchers.

I'll be glad when I can ride my bike again. My bike commute route is nearly all on lightly traveled neighborhood streets, with traffic moving much slower than the major highways. Seriously, I think it's safer biking on my route than driving on the main highways around here.
