Rabbit rabbit, sure is!
I had to take Springfield - an even busier road than I usually take. Construction blocked my route (I suspect it was just for 10-15 minutes at a critical point) and I was already late so I couldn't try the side roads. I did not see a *single* bicycle along the way which gave me even more pause (they all got run over already? Hope they were just all on the other roads), but it was still early enough so there was never a lot of traffic going in *both* directions. (It's a busy, pretty narrow road.) Also helps that it's even between summer sessions at the U, I think... EVERYBODY is on vacation or at least sleeping in except those of us ... oh, and all those construction workers but they're already working! (It does make sense to tear up the roads when there's minimal traffic...)
It's pretty warm already and oging into the 90's... but it's still not horrible compared to other places.
