I've experienced the aggression you're referring to in the east bay hills.
I don't have any answer to you other than I suffer through it as well.
Still, the cars don't really slow me down much. If they're going very slow
or stop I can almost always slip right by. And yes, when I'm climbing with
My wife and I both have Rivs with a Yepp mini mount on the stem and a GMG
911 easily swappable between our rear racks. We can haul one or both kids.
Cargo goes in the front basket. Elementary school is less than a mile and
half away and starts early so is easily done before work. Some errands,
My riding situation is urban-ish. I live carless, and have for many years.
I hate cars. My wife was killed in a car wreck, then there are the drunk
drivers, global warming etc. Since dumping cars, the quality of my life
went up. The miles I put on my Atlantis vary, as I don't ride, unless I
I live out the outskirts of DC. My wife and I own a car, but usually only
use it on weekends. Neither of us drive to work. Sometimes my commutes is
just riding 4 miles each way to the train station. Most of the time during
March-November I ride over 20 miles each way to work. It's 75% bike
We have two kids, some bikes, and no car. I'm glad to not have to worry
about traffic and parking while getting around the Bay Area.

*That* part doesn't bother/surprise me at all; I know lots of people who do
that. The Bay Area is a big area geographically (about 60 miles east -west,
about 120 miles north-south), but most people who live here don't go
everywhere all the time. They go to the places they already know. I've
I'm very curious how you manage to get 2 children to school and to
extra-curricular events sans auto. I know Kent Peterson (of blog and Great
Divide and long distance fixed gear riding) did so.
I drive between 4 and 5k miles a year, of which less than 1 K is for
myself, when I need to load up at
I understand what you mean, but in order to ensure logical consistency:
Unless you live on the ridgeline, way out in the sticks (La Honda maybe, or
Sunol), or you have access to some invisible road system that the rest of
us Bay Area riders don't have, traffic and parking are daily issues for
My Mon-Fri commute is about 8km each way from the west side of downtown
into the city core. It gets progressively more and more dense and crowded
as I go - tolerable on good days, hellish on bad ones. It is 100% on city
streets that include unseparated bike lanes, sharrows and nothing at all.
I live car-lite in an inner ring suburb, so I have convenient access to
shopping centers (super market, Target) and a down town. Many of my
destinations are within two or three miles, so the miles don't really add
up, it's more the number of trips that I can take by bike. On a typical day

Seattle. I work all kinds of shifts and could be out riding at any hour of
the day rain or shine. We are a 1 car household. I think I'm getting about
4000 miles a year now.

I commute 20 miles per day just outside of Tel Aviv. It's a densely
populated urban area. Route is a combination of city streets, interurban
bike lanes, a very nice mixed use paved trail through the Yarkon Park and
some sidewalks where there is no other safe option.
We use my wife's car for
Hm. About 3.5 miles round trip? Urban, mostly on separated bike
infrastructure.

Never owned a car. Commute to work has always been short though as I live
just on the outskirts of downtown. Between 3-5km.

I have a Hilsen, but that bike stays in Nantucket. I commute on a KVA

ago. The sky was full of dragonflies. So cool. The native plant

Matthew, do you have a Hillborne?
I saw one with a double TT on Clark in Andersonville the other day.

I still own a car although I have given up using it around town. I stopped
tracking mileage years ago and commute varying distances as a work during
the school year as a substitute teacher in 3 different districts. I
suppose I average 20 miles a day during the week plus whatever recreational
I'm carfree and am in kind of an urban area, maybe suburban depending on
who you talk to. I ride 8 miles each way to work now, but used to ride
15-16 miles each way every weekday for several years. That was a long
commute but I still enjoyed it, even in rainy or snowy weather. Virtually
Per google, my commute from Northwest side to Chicago Loop is about 8.2
miles. On nice days I take a very long way home - Michigan Ave. to Lake
Michigan trail north to Bryn Mawr there west to Damen, Damen south and west
(on some side streets) home. So regular day a little over 16 miles, nice
