and continue

okay. so today i drove instead of riding, so there wouldn't have been a post on bikeforums anyway. but maybe i would have written this anyway.

sometimes i say "i hate myself when i drive" but today i was nice. there are so many opportunities to get caught up in pettiness and greed when attempting to share the road with other motorists. i really don't understand where people learn to drive so poorly - watching others, i suppose. that and generally poor comprehension of the physical realities of traffic flow - that you really don't get where you're going significantly sooner by driving as fast as possible, all the time. it's the lights, and the other cars, that control your average speed.

anyway i did not hate myself today - i was gentle and kind. and slow! (he he)
