My commute, illustrated

This morning seemed like a good time to FINALLY document a bunch of things along a major corridor between Phoenix and Tempe. I've been riding along this route for over two years, just not as a daily commute until now. I have a lot to say about the route. I think Phoenix has at least some plans to improve this area, so in the grand scheme of things I hope this commentary is helpful above and beyond providing you with some insights into what it's like to ride a bike in the Phoenix area. In the grand scheme of things, it could be worse...but it could also be much, much better.
