I always say that my commute is part of training. The Holloway Road is one long bus lane and if you catch the lights right you can go for a couple of miles without stopping or slowing down.
If I do get in to a bad run of lights. I normal sprint as fast as I can to the next red. I dunno if this is god or bad, but it seems to help me. The commute home takes in some pretty step hills, again without the need to stop.
