    Do you thoroughly enjoy sitting in traffic and terrible drivers trying to crash into you? That’s what he’s referring to.

      Traffic and bad drivers are part of driving like flat tires, noisy brakes and broken chains are part of cycling. That’s not what I enjoy about it but it’s part of the deal that I’m willing to accept.

        I don’t pop 3 tires and break a chain everytime I bike and yet everytime I drive to work I have to sit in traffic and deal with jackasses… I’m curious about how you feel they’re similar.

          Have you considered the possibility that not everyone lives in a densely populated urban centre like Toronto? My city has population of 120k people. Traffic is virtually unheard of here.

            That makes a lot of sense. I was going initially reply with “do you live in a small city” but didn’t want to make it personal or anything.
