Since september I've had to drop my lad off at preschool in the car 3 days a week and all I can say is it's objectively worse than cycling. There's always traffic and I'm always second guessing which route is going to be quicker. Even in the rain and wind (which i got on tuesday for my ride in) riding a bike is just much, much better.

I'm in exactly the same situation and I agree with all of this.

I feel bad complaining - I hate getting into the car - and sometimes some parts of the ride are great but I feel like I’m loosing more and more of what made it great
The ride to work (where I have no interest in being, it’s just become transactional) is a 42 mile round trip and I feel old and tired of being invisible to a significant minority of drivers and can’t see the point of getting run over for the trip to the office
Apologies for moping around on the thread

That is pretty monster. You definitely get a pass to complain about the weather.
