I prefer the speed and convenience of the road too, thats one of the main draws as to why I commute as it cuts serious time off my route using other resources (cycle 17-18 minutes, ride park and walk 25 minutes, bus and walk 25 minutes).
But gosh darn, sometimes during a cool summer morning with the sun shining, and the birds singing, maybe a little mist off the river, and a smile in my heart, I just want to mosey along and enjoy the moment. Not possible on any artery roads around here.
I'll pass on the low hanging branches though.
