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 finding summoning up the energy required to negotiate traffic demoralising
Fuck me, so much of this! Biggest reason I dont cycle as much as I used to is the cunts in cars. I cant remember last time when I cycled on Layhams and a cunt didnt pass too close.
I started doing 'laps' of Crooms Hill since they put a modal filter in there but even at school times that road has impatient driving cunts.
Cunts all of them.
Stop fucking driving everywhere you cunts!!!

Same and same. The number of close passes and "get in the bike lane" shouts from drivers (WAC) are considerably higher than before. I rarely go out on my own except for "park laps" anyway, because boring (except when I'm on my Arkose-wannabe bike, with that I'm alone and teary eyed because no Arkose friends)

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.
