A person recommended a city in Idaho with a population of under 20,000. What they are not taking into account is that those smaller towns are becoming suburban freeways to work in Ada and Canyon counties and no more safe for cyclists than the Metro area. I remember the wall to wall habitation 100 miles from Portland even in the early 2000s. In Washington state it's merely hidden by more trees.
In the end I would suggest you get to familiarize yourself better with where you are at, B.Carfree and learn to adapt. There is no turning back.
