That's a good point. The more I think about it the more I realize cars are not doing 20MPH on the days I'm speaking of. Even 4x4 trucks w/ rugged tires, loaded w/ weight are not going 20MPH (since that's my winter driver, this is first hand experience). I very well may be every bit as fast if not faster than traffic on these days. That's the first point that's been brought up that would be a 100% reason, in my eyes, to ride with traffic on these days. It'd also cause me to ride faster, rather than slower. If I'm going at traffic planning an over-the-snowbank drive, I'm going walking speed. If I'm going as fast or faster than traffic, no need.
There is tempting Fate and there is kicking Fate in the sack. Your aiming sack high.
That's great! Well said.
