Lucky Icebiker

We got about 4" of snow yesterday and traffic was bumper-to-bumper and barely moving as everyone tried to get out of downtown Saint Paul after work.  Just as I was getting ready to leave the office I got a call from a friend.  His first words were "did you bike today?"  I hesitated before admitting that I had, thinking I was going to get a lecture on how bad the roads were and how I shouldn't try to bike home.  Instead he said "man, you're lucky!  I've been sitting in traffic for over 1/2 hr, and I've only gone about 2 miles.  Some guy on a bike passed me about 20 minutes ago and I'm sure he's home by now."
