or the feeling you get on a bike as you sail cheerily and effortlessly past a line of gridlocked motor vehicles, and cast a glance at the glum inhabitants, locked in their airless boxes in their self-inflicted misery.

I know I shouldn't gloat at other people's misfortunes, but

ps. no prizes for the pun, please

It's lovely. Until someone doors you.

Just wish I was closer to work :'(

Though I am looking at an opportunity that would involve relocating, perhaps doing Mon to Fri away, and one of my criteria for location to live if I get it is a sensible commute (maybe 10 miles)

Or decides they've had enough queing too a do a u-turn into you.

Or flicks a fag end out the window.

To do it safely filtering requires such concentration and care that there is little time to gloat at the cagers relaxing in their air conditioned heated leather seated 11 speaker luxury while you waft by as a sweaty bundle of nerves.

It's all sweetness and light on my commute. Drivers move to the side, give me plenty of space, and I give them a cheery good morning wave. It's a beautiful thing.

I have never quite understood why people drive to the gym and then go on an exercise bike.

This thread was prompted by some roadsh*t round here this morning.
A comment from one of my colleagues : "It took me 1 1/4 hours to drive the 6 miles to work this morning'.
