I feel like I have discovered a commuting tip: do not go to your office on the hour, instead aim for 20 past, or a quarter to.
Everybody tries to be there on the hour, and if you do, too, your commute will be crowded.
If I take my bike only 10 minutes later, the streets are notably emptier.
Is that actually a thing?

@jexner@tooting.ch Not round here. EXCEPT of course between xx:55 and xx:05 in the city centre when many thousands of students are getting from one lecture to the next.

(Is that still a thing? I haven't noticed it in recent years. Possibly just because I avoid cycling through the city centre at those times.)

Not really in London, although I was half an hour later leaving work today and it was noticeably quieter - perhaps a holiday effect?

But the tip certainly works for my building's showers at rush hour!

@TimWardCam@c.im Hm. Maybe it has to do with the size of the place I work in?

Basel is not a big city, and I live south of Basel. Maybe that is a factor.
