Before I recently retired my commute was 30 miles round trip. It included a bit of everything. It had some heavy city traffic, light slow speed residential areas and high speed light to heavy "out in the country roads". Weather was usually mild . I tried to commute at least three times a week. Over the years, I found the more I rode, the less problems I had with the "regulars" on my commute. Like they were used to seeing me every morning and evening. I had some of the normal incidents, but they were getting further apart in occurances all the time.
