Don't you just love traffic jams?

[XmisterIS]

I went through a beautiful one today coming out of Portsmouth - it was a real five-star corker! About 3 miles long and completely solid. It made a lovely whooshing sound as I went past.

Aye.

I rode past one near York in May on the Bank Holiday Sunday. On the A64, queues of lemmings heading for the coast, and I just glided past, seemingly absorbing their frustration as a 'feel good' aura as I went.

The Forth Road Bridge is a bit of a bottle neck and can see queues several miles long and its quite nice when you go flying by on the north (Inverkeithing) approach and folk are asking for a backee like I've not heard that a 100 times before but I still find some amusement

i love it when people rush past you, and a few miles down the road, i pedal past and giggle to my self as i know they will be there a while.

I don't really think about it TBH.

Has Rose Kennedy got a black dress?

I counted one morning, strictly speaking it wasn't a jam, just a series of cars waiting at lights and junctions.

Over 7 miles I overtook a hundred and sixty odd cars.

The only thing I don't like about traffic jams is you know the tit that went past you a couple of miles down the road to fast and way to close and nearly knocked you off will have the chance to do it again.

But yes I do love it when I go past them all sitting there

Depends how powerful your engine is. My jam-buster has 998cc and 130 ponies, any stationary cars I pass do not get a chance to pass me back.

Yeah, yeah, I know, wrong sort of cycle but my commute is 25 miles and that would take me too long on a bike-without-motor.

I like the bit on the south side where my route takes me over both the major approach roads to the Forth Road Bridge and I can see all the cars sat there knowing I'll be home before they get to the Bridge

Get up earlier?

I've only ridden through one major traffic jam, It made me smile at one point as I slowed coming up to a roundabout. A guy said to his passenger 'look at him, he's got the right idea, I'm getting a bike'. Another new convert

Norm doesn't do mornings.

Although I must admit that I've been checking out bikehike.co.uk (great resource, thanks to whoever posted that!) to see if there is a viable route.
