Anyway, all that = next to no riding typically.
That all sounds like you're searching everywhere for reasons to not ride. I'll grant the weather being a deal breaker half the year but idiot drivers are everywhere and aren't stopping other bike owners on this thread from riding. Too many toys means they don't get played with often enough, and bikes in particular need to be ridden regularly unless you are extremely diligent about putting them away for the season. It's not good for riders to take long breaks either as you have to rebuild your fringe maneuverability skills every time. Also nobody was born with a "crew" to ride with but it's not hard to find some people and form one...
