Living in an obstacle course

[pattib@xxxxxxxxxx]

My commute is two miles of San Francisco city traffic each way, 17
stoplights (!), three stop signs, and exactly zero opportunities to get
out of first gear.  I do a lot of swerving to avoid idiots, quick
accelerations and stops for the same reason, and just generally the
same maneuvering you'd do if you were riding through a video game where
everything was trying to kill you.  The pavement sucks, expecially
south of Market where the road is under serious construction.

I do this four or five days a week.

I realize that this is probably hell on brakes, but am I stressing
other parts of the bike?  Is there anything I should do differently in
terms of maintenance?
