I did a little video of my daily commute splitting traffic leaving San Francisco over the Bay Bridge heading towards Berkeley. This is about the fastest pace I go through traffic. Believe it or not, but I would probably be considered creeping through. I let about 4-5 riders around me as they bombed through traffic, easily 20-30+ MPH faster than the cars around them. The few minutes they make up aren't worth any more of the risk that I'm already putting myself at. All said, this is the main reason I ride to work as much as possible. 1 hour on bike or 2+ in a car!
By the way, this is my first attempt at uploading a video to YouTube...so bare with me.
