Step 2: Reviewing The Conditions

Ok so you wanna put your life in danger. The first question you have to ask yourself is "Why?" Do you wanna Go Faster or are ya just feeling lazy?

Lazy:
If you are just feeling lazy than just grab a hold. It doesn't matter how fast your going or when your going to stop. All that matters is that someone else is doing the work for you, enjoy the ride :)

Faster
If you your looking to get from point A to point B faster, than this is a little more complex of an issue. Their are two main variables you have to factor in.
- Road Clearance.
- Total possible skitching distance.

So you think you have a great opportunity for a silky smooth skitch. The Drivers relaxed and unaware, or even better, excited to see you endangering yourself. So you psych yourself up and go for the grab, BUT ALAS! The roads ahead are jam packed with rush hour traffic and overzealous pedestrians. You could go for it but you would be moving slower than what you could manage yourself by spinning those pedals and threading the needle through this harsh jungle of rush hour traffic. You got things to do, people to see, packages to deliver no time for a casual stint of laziness.

This is a common scenario. A sexy skitch opportunity presents itself to you but traffic conditions would make for a slow and inefficient ride.This is why it is key to understand the street you are dealing with and the conditions ahead.

Bad Speed Skitch Scenarios:
-High Traffic
-High Traffic Light Frequency
-Slow Moving cars

Good Speed Skitch Scenarios:
-Low Traffic
-Low Traffic Light Frequency
-Medium Paced cars (or fast if you can handle it/Catch it)

I have illustrated some common Good Skitch/Bad Skitch scenarios in the pictures below. You will probably notice that one of the good skitch scenarios has a trafic light in it. This is OK! Sometimes its worth waiting for a car at a traffic light. Its worth the investment of 30 seconds of standing still if you get an overall time improvement of 3 minutes!
