Today I made my first nonstop Damen>Lincoln>Wells>Monroe>Michigan run during actual rush hour. It was faster, flatter and much nicer than Elston but MAN, I hate drivers. I almost lost my traction coming to an emergency skidding halt in the middle of an intersection when some mouthbreather blew through a stop sign. I gave him the evil eye.

And I got honked at by a car that was a good 2 feet to the left of me, when we were moving at about 3MPH through an intersection after a red light. Bunch of dickheads in this town.

I carried my laptop in a relatively unpadded Eagle Creek daybag strapped to my rack. It did the job but I should probably get something more secure.

Also, I hate cab drivers and the lazy saps who give them money.

And then there are the bikers, who do things like smile at me and wave me through to pass them.
