It's easy for you to ride your bike in sunny CA, but my scenery is soybean fields and pickup trucks. Putzing along while observing the Johnson grass ain't fun.

I'd take that over getting sideswiped by a-hole motorists on a regular basis. I haven't ridden much at all since moving to the westside since everything is so damn congested. When I lived in Pasadena I could ride out of my garage and be on fireroad in 10minutes of pedaling, or ride to the RoseBowl if I wanted to do the pack, or head up Angeles Crest or Chantry Flats if I wanted to do road hills. On the westside it is just nuts. but if I want to put my bike on the roof of the 4-runner and drive down to PCH I can have a bit less risk there...but that seems somehow wrong.
