It’s so nice to be able to take more of a look around while out and about for my daily ‘sanity rides’, actually looking at the many cute little house around my area, looking for teddy bears in windows etc rather than being 100% focused on defensive safe riding, looking around for traffic all the time, down side streets, driveways, behind me etc (obviously you still need to be aware, even with so much less traffic, but it doesn’t take ALL the focus at the moment). Definitely need to be aware of pedestrians too, many of whom have got so used to the low traffic volumes that they just step out onto the road without looking!!!
But overall, so relaxing cruising down wee streets I wouldn’t usually have any reason to go down, and exploring my neighbourhood
