Yeah, there's a lot of factors to weigh. How much car exhaust do I want to sniff? How much do I want to have to fight for space on a 'cycle lane' that's just a bunch of road markings directing me right down the middle of a lane of cars? What's the shade situation like? How well-maintained is the road? How sketchy are the neighborhoods I'm going through? Am I in a hurry, and how much do I wanna trade these other desires off for The Shortest Possible Route? Am I taking my time and feel like exploring? At least I currently live in a very flat place so I don't need to worry about any hills to either detour around or sssssllllooooowwwwlllllyyyyy grind my way up.
