OK, so Carfree Day in Warsaw started off with a bicyclist getting hit in the city center, then a mega traffic jam on one of the major roads into town. In the afternoon a 3-car collision on another major road blocked everything except for the bus lane, so cars used it and busses also got jammed. In all, even though the weather was very nice (sunny and warm), the Wife and I noticed less bikers than usual on the bike trail on our way home, and there were more traffic jams and car-related accidents than average. I'll add that public transport yesterday was
FREE for anyone who ditched their car (just show your car's papers instead of ticket), and since last year there are 2 or 3 new Park&Ride parking lots next to train and subway stations.

Most European cars' speedo has a red line at 50 km/h to make it easier to stay at the urban speed limit. In Groar's case I doubt he goes much faster... Just kidding, I know that's not his top speed, which makes 1900km on one tank even more awesome
