I've recently bid "to heck with it" on my regular cycling route because despite it is shorter mileage and time wise, the route is boring and I share parts of it with fast moving vehicles.

Therefore lately, I've started to try a more scenic route that takes me along a river and parks. It is a bit slower and longer. But it's also more pleasant. I don't arrive all flustered.

Just wondering how many of you folks take the indirect route for commute?
