In the city you can save yourself a lot of stress and trouble by looking out ahead and adjusting your speed down when it's not gonna matter anyway. Coasting up to that stop light instead of driving full speed then breaking harder. And by not expecting 35 in a 35 zone you feel a lot better when reality sets in and you end up averaging 25 anyway.

I don't drive 5 under just to drive 5 under though (interstate excluded)... A slow poke in a car is a lot harder to get around than a slow poke on a bike.

We need a campaign: "Go slower, live longer."
