Oof, I know exactly what you mean about it being difficult living in a cycling unfriendly city; that's my situation currently. I still love getting around by bike, but it can feel rather dangerous, arduous, and just generally like your presence wasn't expected outside of a car. Maybe someday I can move somewhere friendlier too :-)
Fitment of your bike is so important!
