driver behaviour is much better than in London.
I always feel that this is short term till more people buy cars. London being at peak and have reached a point where infrastructure remains the only way forward seems like longer term.

Here's the thing. You think London is wealthy, till you experience places that are prefaced with 'Royal' start with 'Che..' Then you see where really money goes.
Bristol is banging if you like the London vibe, but it's quickly catching up with London price wise. Didn't take you for somewhere like Painswick though?

Spent the weekend in Bristol and Cheltenham. Very, very different places from a limited street view.
Bristol seemed more eclectic and livelier. The road rides 5 minutes from town are pretty good (10deg ascents/descents…) and driver behaviour is much better than in London.
Cheltenham feels like Reading’s wealthier cousin. It’s more manicured and feels more walled-off than Bristol. Seen several ferraris and a dozen or more porsches parked about town. Haven’t done any cycling so can’t comment.
Hoping to check out Stroud and possibly Painswick. Entertaining the thought of getting out of dodge, disappointed that this weather is the exception wherever we go explore.
