    OMG the traffic this morning was mental. I'm four years making the same commute and I've never seen it as bad as this morning. :eek: Rain seems to bring the worst out.

    i was biking it this morning, was nuts alright, but all one person one car. People are too fond of their own motor transport. Very reluctant to car pool or offer a lift.

    Think there may have been a crash or something. Ambulance with two squad cars went past me on the way in this morning.

    funnily enough, I thought it was surprisingly light going the other way. I travel from the west of the city to oranmore in the mornings and its usually mental up to the bridge when its raining...wasn't too bad today at all

    edit: An ambulance sped past us coming the other way at about 8.50. might explain the traffic the other way

    How do you manage at work if your wet? Do you have showers?

    I might be cycling soon - currently walk but may be moving further away from work. Does rain gear do the job?

    I cycled in too and it seemed much worse than normal at 8.30. Also, car drivers are usually pretty nice to me but this morning they seemed particularly grumpy.

    Tuam Road was the usual mobile carpark...:)

    usually bring a change of clothes for the return leg home, its a 45 min steady speed commute each way so even if it was dry id be working up a sweat. Work clothes are brought in a water proof bag. 2 sets of clothes for the spin. Most things made for cycling will dry very quick so its manageable.
