3:09:00
The biking during my commute for four days this week amounted to 80.16 km in 3:09:00. So the average speed was 25.4 kph. But I'm generally either over 30 kph or for, all practical purposes, stopped.
This evening the students were going back home. Our train was so packed I could hardly board with my bicycle. The aisles were full of seated kids.
Right as I came through, some guy from the SNCF was passing out 1-page surveys. I had my hands full of frame and handlebars, so didn't take one. The girl next to me in the corridor was writing what seemed to be an angry note in the comments box.
True, the train's been late a lot in the evening, especially up to the middle of this week. The SNCF seems to be replacing the rails around Domene and Lancey. Between the flood and the tramway construction, they're falling behind between Grenoble and Brignoud. I can understand everyone's frustration. The flood days would've been even more frustrating if I had no car to take.
As it stands, I'm still glad to get the extra exercise and the time to read or relax while somebody else drives.
