If I hadn't ridden my bike on that day, I would have worked from home. It would have been TOTALLY crazy to try to drive a car in that.
My route is largely rural, and on the trip in to work in the morning, before I hit town I typically only see 3 or 4 cars, all going the same way I am. If I'm really concerned about the cars not being able to maintain control, there's a back road that I can take which has very little traffic, and lands me about 1/4 mile from work. I have only ever taken it 3 or 4 times.
