I live in Victoria and the downtown area is getting more and more difficult to navigate in a vehicle.  The island highway gets gridlocked during rush hours.  I find more and more that I am using the bike.  On the plus side I can come into town faster, don't need to pay for parking and I get a little exercise.  Big factor I have pleasure-use only on my vehicle and hardly use it during the summer months.  99% of the drivers I see coming into town are single occupant vehicles many in giant trucks & SUVs.  I guess having a large diesel burning F350 or RamCharger makes you a man in some people's opinion.
