Riding with congestion
I never realized how good I have it, in terms of cycling, until today. I normally ride on early in the morning and on country roads. There is little traffic and not a ton of stops. I got home from work around 4pm and the family was out of town. Sounded like time for a nice 20 mile ride. Uuggg the frustration of riding with traffic for a change. It started with people in the neighborhood coming home from work turning into driveways. Once on the road it was more of the same. Biking is just not enjoyable with all the forced stops and cars turning. Next time I get home early, I am hitting the trails instead. Anyway, I would hate to live in a big city and have to deal with the distractions on every ride.
