Sounds like you just need to move to a more bike friendly city/country :)

  Whilst that could be true (there's a distinct mountain shortage in these parts) it doesn't entirely solve the city road/bike path problem. In cities that are renowned bike friendliness e.g. Amsterdam or Copenhagen most of the cycling is low speed on the excellent cycle paths. Most of the riders are on utility bikes in their everyday clothing (as opposed to dressing to go fast and get sweaty). If people are just peacefully commuting at 20kph (12mph) I would feel a bit of an arse if I went hooning past on a time trial bike at 50kph (31 mph). Editor's note: Actually I'd be over the moon if I could maintain a 31 mph average for 10 miles! :) The small town I live in actually has pretty good segregated bike paths but I only use them when I'm commuting slowly and not when I'm training.
