That's so true. One time this guy came to look bike I was selling because he wanted to start commuthing by bike. Anway, he asked for advice on how he should get to work and rattled off 3 possible routes for a 7 mile trip that included 5-10 streets each. He was pretty surprised at how complicated they were (and that I knew the routes my memory). I explained that after a couple of years you figure out what makes a good route and that one street is rarely best for an entire trip.
