> Yeah, that is real good. 18m in one hour. Any traffic lights?
Not many, no.The hour is not always the case. Some times it's an hour ten,
sometimes it's just under. Depends on traffic and wind, of course. It's a
semi-rural route, and at the time I'm doing it there's not enough traffic
for me to really stop at the stop signs. I can California stop them. :-)
Some uphill and some screaming downhills. Yes, we have hills in this part of
Florida. Some are natural and some are created by developers to give the
area "character". They're not steep but they are plentiful.
> Do people commute to work in their swimsuits?
I see exactly two other bike commuters. One is our local oral surgeon
triathlete on his mega $$$ tri bike, usually kitted out in a skinsuit. He's
FAST. The other is a woman on a Giant hybrid. It's pretty cool to watch her
progression. At one time she was riding in sweats and carrying her stuff in
a backpack. Now she's wearing MTB shorts and has a rack and panniers. She
keeps complimenting my bike, so I'm sure I'll see her on a road bike before
long.
