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.
You don't say where in Florida you live but I am assuming it is not someplace like Tampa or Miami.

I grew up in Miami and used to jam traffic on a regular basis, but I agree it's nice not to have to stress over it.

Now that I am in L.A. I usually do morning rides, but believe it or not traffic is really not that bad on the West Side for the most part...
