summoning up the energy required to negotiate traffic demoralising
So much this. I actually feel a bit silly for not making more of riding during lockdown #1 when the traffic was non-existant. I think I just took it for granted!

I'm fortunate that I have one route into work wich is basically a cycleway for 85-90% of it. Until I started doing this I had not realised how mentally stressful riding in traffic/with cars was.

I'm finding summoning up the energy required to negotiate traffic demoralising, whereas earlier in the summer when traffic was lighter I could just decide to go out for a quick spin whenever I felt like it. The effect of this is huge and will be even greater for less experienced cyclists. I actually feel slightly hemmed in as a result, so it's pretty depressing. Will try and build some kind of routine and make it to RP a few times a week.
