Distance travelled: about 13 km from home to work.
Time left from home: 8:15am
Time arrived at work: 9:00am

Average speed: a bit over 17km/h.

What is disturbing is that the Public Transport way in would take from 8:15 to 9:30, giving an average speed over much the same distance of 10.4 kp/h.

If I wasn't so (1) unfit and (2) in fear of my life on those roads at that time of morning, I'd think about riding a bike in. As it is, though, 13 km of Melbourne peak hour traffic through the city... I much prefer being surrounded by a non-trivial amount of metal armour.

Good Gods, the alpha-personality retards in their RX-7s and APC4WDs, who think by changing lanes every two meters, they will get to their ever-so-important destination 10 seconds earlier. They tail-gate. They cut off. They do right-hand turns from the left-hand lane. They take any gap of more than thirty centimeters between cars as enough to change lanes into.

Motherfucking retarded idiot spawn of dyspeptic donkeys!


That they have not been struck from the face of the earth is proof enough that God is either dead or uncaring.
