buy a mountain bike.
This, really, if putting up with traffic is what pushes you inside find a new way of riding that avoids it as much as possible. Fighting a bog or finding if a route is rideable is far more enjoyable that keeping the power on track on TR.
Try to remember what got you into cycling first, pretty sure it wasn't sitting on the turbo in your garage.
Take a week off, buy a mountain bike.
