Damp But Happy

To say there was a bit of rain around Brisbane today would be very much the understatement. The slippery roads caused an accident or two, which apparently was the cause of the city wide gridlock.


As i rode home, I didn't know the cause of the gridlock, but was feeling more than a bit pleased with myself as i cruised past kilometres of stationary traffic. (I try not to be smug, but it's really difficult ;)

About 20 minutes of riding and i was home. Sure, i was a bit damp (there were still showers about) but 5 minutes after getting home i was warm and dry. Meanwhile those poor motorists are probably still out there, watching their fuel tank slowly empty itself.

ps. i'll have to remember this story the next time someone tells me that driving a car is gives them 'freedom' and 'independence'. :)
