Great commute, 50 f on the way in to school and 80 f coming back. When I head north on the am most of the traffic on what is mostly one ways is heading in the opposite direction and I have had the road to myself and coming home it is the same. Drivers are heading south and the only traffic congestion I have encountered is other cyclists. 8000 bikes cross the Hawthorne bridge every day and the esplanade along the river is busy in the afternoon.
