    Sorry, more than they usually are...
    They are ususally clogged up solid when it rains though. Loads of cars tightly packed on the roads and not moving as fast as normal. Great for filtering through!
    The disadvantage is the fact that there are less bikes on the roads, keeping cagers aware that we exist.

    does anyone get cages opening doors or edging across so you cant fit through?

    Not so much the door action because I ride wide enough around them if they have some one in them. being squeezed out happens constantly, most often when the cage in front stops to turn right and the following cage sees it as their right to swerve into my lane, again try and anticipate, use yr horn, brake or get past quick. Foot path can be an option but road bikes dont generally mount curbs too well

    Hmm.

    I'm in a similar boat, but I find that regular exercise and forcing myself to bed at a sensible hour is the solution. A brief adrenaline rush can't make up for genuine fatigue.

    If you're feeling crap when you wake up in the mornings, something's wrong.

    I think The Crew would disagree with you on that point.

    Rain - shine - hail - wind - bike. Even if it means my rear tyre is slipping at 30 kph and I'm kind of leant over sideways because of the wind while going in a straight line.
    What you have in your heart will be revealed through what you have in your life.

    If things are going badly in our circumstances, the answer to what is happening to us outwardly is more often than not found in the mirror.
