1 to what the others are saying . I ' ll add Texas has lots of diverse land , so if you ' re wanting to spend a few hours riding , you have plenty of interesting places to go . As far as Austin daily traffic , my bike is my primary vehicle so I ' m in it all the time . If you can avoid rush hour by riding at different times or by taking alternate routes then drivers are pretty good . I run into more idiot drivers making dangerous situations in one day in rush traffic than I do the rest of the quarter otherwise . The roads and scenery are nice , the weather is generally pleasant does get hot , and peak traffic is horrible . <| sep |> It ' s not that it ' s infinite they just know when to spend it . <| sep |> But I ' m Canadian !
