cpl days ago rode to the office (& back) late in the day on a Saturday. doesn't count as a commute really, but kinda. after mostly off road rides this past fall & winter w a cpl road bike rides here & there, it was an ugly reminder about commuting routes & the BS on the roadways. also the number of possible hazards sky rockets ranging from debris in the road, poor pavement conditions & auto & truck traffic. so much safer off road or on routes planned for joy rides where you can pick & choose based on road quality & width & low traffic interaction
