Hey a friend that also rides his bicycle to work was videoing his ride and I ended up passing him in the morning on Friday so he gave me a copy of the video and I cut the part where I show up out and put it to music. It is here for your pleasure. This is my first attempt at linking in video...

Threat of rain so no pictures. It didn't rain but I did not want to take the chance and have the camera out on the handle bars. In fact I didn't even bring the camera so even if it clears I won't be able to take any pictures tonight either.

Rode the greenways and boy was there Mud everywhere since they tend to follow the creeks. Some parts were destroyed and others you could see the mud that had to be removed.
Another shot of the green way....
Just look at the mud. The water looked like it was over the bridge.....
You can see how much Mud has been removed by looking at the edge of the path...
Greenway Washed out. Had to walk around what you see here is where the ground used to be....

Well what can say about tonight's weather? Floods everywhere. Left work early due to the fact that the only road in to the building was cover with about 1 foot of moving water. It was fun riding on the bike out. My feet could not get any wetter since they had to be submerged to pedal. No pictures due to the rain still failing. It would have made a great picture.

Wow did it ever rain this morning. I would like to thank the three drivers on Kildaire Farm Road this morning. They were so nice as to not even slow down while driving though the flooded section after Queensferry. Now I know what it would be like to bike under a waterfall. Thank you again for that experience.

Shot below is of a person that went passed me on the right! Totally illegal move. They used the right turn only lane to do it. They started our behind me then moved right to pass me. This is a typical shot that I use to turn someone into the police. They always call me back. So another idiot reported to the police.

Notice the two cyclist on the other side? They are on the sidewalk and going the wrong way also. VERY dangerous. Not at all safe like they think.

Why Sidewalk Cycling is Dangerous
People wonder how riding bikes on sidewalks can be dangerous. First, there is a greater chance of minor collisions with cyclists and pedestrians due to poorer visibility and restricted room and also a greater chance of falling down. However, the likelihood of a collision with a motor vehicle also increases. These accidents occur at intersections and driveways, the former more deadly. Unwilling to dismount and often unwilling to wait for the light, the bike rider starts across the intersection parallel to the main road, completely hidden from a turning motorist until the last second, when it's often too late for the motorist to stop. A study of these risks was made in 1994 and showed that sidewalk cycling is almost twice as dangerous as cycling in the street, and cycling against the traffic on the sidewalk is over four times as dangerous as cycling in the street.

Dangerous Move
I was going through my pictures from previous rides and came across this one. How does this person justify passing me in this situation the way they are. As you can see from the picture they are completely over the double yellow line and there is no way they can see what is coming their way because of the hill. I'm just always amazed by idiot drivers.
