Having just recently moved out of LA myself, I completely agree. While the weather is cooperative year-round, traffic, darkness, and scheduling are definitely not in that hi-density area. Weekends are great for riding as the traffic dies down, but weekdays is no-fun, even in the early morning unless you're already remote to begin with. I rode a lot of trainer in LA year-round (but never subbed out a weekend outdoor ride for the trainer.)
