A bridge too slow

Before coming to Soo, I checked to see whether I’d be allowed to cross International Bridge. Apparently they even allow bicycles, so I’d be fine. It’s not nearly as long as Mackinac, so that’s OK. I brought my passport, so I’m set for the border crossing. However.

I didn’t consider the amount of time it would take to cross. Sure, I have plenty. But then I saw the traffic on the southbound side, backed up at least halfway to Canada. I overheard one person say she’d been stuck on the bridge for half an hour. And I really don’t think I want to sit in stop-and-go traffic on a bridge high enough for freighters to pass under it. So I’m skipping Canada this time. Sorry, eh?
