Bicycle Commuting: Good, Bad, Good, Bad, Good. Bad.

You know, on any given bicycle commute you'll share the road with all kinds. One recent ride had a complete mix of road users; I saw a good driver, a stupid cyclist, a pedestrian, an idiotic driver and a cyclist who seemed to know what they were doing, in that order, on a single 6 km commute!




Hearing the distinctive click of a brake lever behind me out in the thru lane where it belonged, combined with the unique-to-cycling opportunity to say good morning and warn my fellow rider about my next moves redeemed the whole ride somehow, leaving me relatively happy instead of definitely pissed about having to share the road with a bunch of morons and nutcases.

Nice ride to work, Rantwick! Gotta remember that everything in life comes with The Good, The Bad, and The Downright Ugly.

Ride Safe!

As much as I'm supposed to be deeply grateful to have a job, arriving at it is never my favorite part of the commute. I have to reward myself with coffee and snacks.
