I totally agree. I recently moved to LA for a job. A couple of months before moving I had bought a nice road bike. Even though I live 2.5 miles from work now, that road bike still sits in my closet every day. I would love to ride it to work, but LA doesn't even have enough lanes to support both driving and parking, let alone biking. The roads are full of traffic and impatient drivers and I value my life too much to risk riding my bike on the couple feet of shoulder that might exist on those roads.
