Riding around the city is not may favourite.
BUT...living & working in downtown Toronto forces me to enjoy daily adventures while commuting 7 kms. to my office.
I look at this as a plus though!
The urban/rush hour journey tests/trains my senses (visual, audible and intuitive) by having to deal with trolly (streetcars we call them here) tracks, bicyclists (a species not yet researched by Nat Geo), taxis (the u-turn kings), SUV's, pedestrians, buses, etc. And...all on cell phones!!
Many of my riding buddies live outside the city. They are quite nervous when they ride down here. I, on the other hand, deal with it as an every-day occurance.
It has it's benefits...to a degree.
