Riding to work: Part 4 (Camera's Last Stand)

So the herd moves out across the final few lanes of the road. Here I am cutting around the left to get by all the slow pokes.
If you very closely look to the right hand part of the screen here you can just see the bike lane that is cordoned off. The problem is, that sometimes the entrance to the bike lane is blocked by bicycle riders crossing traffic, so other riders are forced to either walk their bikes through the crowd (which is really annoying) or use the car lanes until the you get past the fence area.
Now this picture was suppose to be of the road work being done in the middle lane of traffic which is forcing the cars into the bike lane, but there was a slight problem. Apparently when a camera is dropped from the height of a handlebar onto pavement, well, let's just say the camera is not particularly happy about the whole thing.

So thank you for participating in our 4-part series. We hope to run a sequel some day. We are thinking of calling it "Cameras and their wonderful wrist straps which prevent them from being dropped" Posted by Picasa

I was wondering how you've managed to ride and to take pictures at the same time. You are very brave.

Oh, and.. do you think that, perhaps, the reason that everyone bikes so slowly is so that if they get into an accident (which apparently is unpreventable)it won't be so bad? Just a thought.

Love you
