Often freeway traffic was moving along at single digits. Or even stopped. I'd have to wait up to 10 minutes to exit the freeway , when the exit lane was backed up due to traffic volume on the adjoining city street.. When on the bike , i just breeze by all this miserable congestion.. When driving the car, I'd arrive frustrated and mad. On the bike happy with the world. Happy with the world is a far better way to start your work day grind. And need to cope with office politics.
