This morning on my way to work, there was road construction. The road crews are adding "rumble bars" on the side of the road. It's a 2 lane highway with a speed limit of 60 mph. Everyone was having to wait for the pilot car to come and allow them through the construction zone. I pulled up and was prepared to wait like everyone else, but the construction worker waved me through because I was on a bike. I got to work before the pilot car even came into sight and I had the whole side of the road to myself. Then, on the way home for lunch I realised that with all the construction, they had swept the shoulder, so it is nice and smooth. I got special treatment, added rumble bars for saftey, and a swept shoulder to ride on. Couldn't have been much better.

Heh, sometimes a bicycle is faster even on a 60mph road.
