    I don’t think many people who regularly bike in an urban environment would agree that “no driving stressors” is an applicable description of the activity.

      Come visit the Netherlands :)

      Pretty chill with mostly protected bike paths and separate cycles at traffic lights.

      I also found Paris quite chill due to the decent drivers more than the improving but still lacking infra.

        I actually have biked around both Amsterdam and The Hague. They were both quite a bit better than other places I’ve been but you could still find some dodgy areas. You’re right though, a flat country at sea level that prioritizes bike infrastructure is a pretty nice place to commute by bike lol

      Such to say none of the stressor attributed to driving.

      I’m well aware every stressor I fave riding is cause by drivers.
