Here are some random photos of my Ventana Alfine commuter.

Ten minutes later the rain began letting up and had pretty much stopped at the half way point.  Phew, I won’t get soaked to the bone today.  Just a little wet.  I think I can deal with that.

As I am approaching the street that takes me the final stretch to work I see that it is backed up.  Guess why.  Yes, the stopped semi from earlier was causing numerous cars to overflow onto surface streets.  I must have passed about 50 cars in one stretch where I normally pass 10 at most and all of them were sitting still.  I started to feel better about the fact that I rode today.  Seeing all of those people trapped in their cars at the mercy of traffic made the fact that I got a little wet earlier okay.
