The temptation to yell back is very strong. A hard one to resist. But that's the challenge, and a good challenge. Break the cycle of anger don't turn the gain up on the feedback loop. Be the offset. The negative offset specifically (negative as in the scientific term meaning to decrease, or reduce).
Esp important for me to internalize now that my bike path and a Nationally recognized bike path is completely torn up to run a sewer underneath it. Not only is it torn up but the city has decided deliberately to not post any signage regarding alternative bike routes (or so it seems, that is the only way it can be interpreted as I have many friends who have contacted them about this situation). AND on top of it all? They are doing sewer and gas work under the road and ripping it up and closing lanes on the only road that connects one end of the path to the other.
Yes.
Only one alternative road that doesn't involve adding 3-5 miles on even busier roads. Of course I could always just ride up into Seekonk and add 10 miles each way. But when time is critical... those options are not really on the table.
This whole driving thing is not so much fun, esp in the rusty race wagon.
