At which point you’ve now noticed that each traveling group (drivers, cyclists, pedestrians) really believe that they’re the only ones in transit – and if they’re not, then the other two can get the bloody hell out of the way.
Ha ha! Yeah! I’d often complain about traffic and people would say “but you ride a bike!”, but yeah, bad traffic can slow me down significantly as I don’t like to squeeze recklessly between cars.

Or riding early and getting home before the heat sets in
no reason not to ride year round with proper attire. better than standing at cold bus stops. happier too.
YEEHA!

,,,errr – sorry – just realised I had the comments turned off….
Actually, my #1 warm weather problem is all the idiots on bikes and then the zombiefied pedestrians. Cars don’t bother me as nearly as much.

Safety in numbers, until most of those numbers go into their winter cycling hybernation…
I find cars get in my way a lot more than I get in theirs.
