re: "Splitting lanes of gridlock is positively euphoric."

I can tell some cagers don't like this meaning the are jealous, so sometimes hold back and wait for the light within the midst of the cagers. I sense a new calm in the group and a greater acceptance, feeling more like one of the family. You know like, "we're all in this together, even the bikers".

Other time however, the is NFW I'm waiting!

My left knee is a little sore, maybe I can't 5 days. I hoping to blow everyone aw at work next week. That's a stupid motivation anyway, all I ever get is a passing comment like: "ride to work today"? My boss is an avid cyclist but we never talk. One other guy like to ride in the am but doesn't "commute". He got a flat the other morning so we that to share.

Geez what's with the flats? I can do the fix'm up in about 15 minutes. Anybody got a record on that? I suspect I can improve my time some.
