[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYp2BBEVO28](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYp2BBEVO28) I'm currently in the process of prosecuting a cement truck driver who almost ran over a dozen cyclists back in August. We were in primary position, he skimmed past me close enough for me to lift his company phone number off the passenger door. I've almost been killed half a dozen times. The A809 is in the top 10 most dangerous roads in the UK. I could talk about close calls and aggressive drivers all day. I've been [everywhere](https://imgur.com/a/QozH8pM) in Glasgow. I know the city better than most of the locals. Good museums? Compared to where? Not where I'm from, that's for sure. I don't know why I'm arguing about this point, it's not like I've ever been to a museum voluntairily. Ah, yes, two bike lanes that I'll never use because they're on the other side of the city. Thanks, Glasgow CC, I feel very safe now. I haven't been anywhere lately because the weather's been garbage and I got tired of wearing out a bike chain every month. I don't get how having a full time job would change my experience anyway. Being unemployed/slagging off for the entire summer/a student/delivery cyclist has let me see more of the city than most natives/"wagecucks" who fire up the GPS in their car just to get to work every day. I get why people like this city. I'm not saying that the city is objectively horrible or that nobody would ever like living here. In fact I think that most people will like this city for the reasons you listed above. My standards and requirements are different. I'm from a place with great weather, where I don't have to spend 6 months a year on the indoor trainer. The rent there is a third of what I pay here for at least twice the space. Public transport is actually public transport and it costs significantly less. As I said, those aren't my only reasons - there's more personal reasons I can't go into.
