Especially in cities with bike lanes, and frequent bike traffic.
Driving into Chicago is a nightmare for me when we go. Just getting into town and parking for the week, I feel so much anxiety looking out for bikers and trying to not be an asshole.
But then once we are parked, it's a week of bliss with all the public transit options.
I already made up my mind that next time we go we are taking the Amtrak train from Toledo to Chicago and skipping the driving bullshit.
Chicago is the place to be if you want to semi-enjoy public transit, at least. Though there are a ton of bicycle infrastructure woes. But even compared to the rest of the country… it's practically a transit paradise.
