I'm glad we moved from our old place when we did for the sole reason of the lane leading up to it. Around a 1/4 mile from the main road, up a steep hill with badly repaired or un-repaired pot-holes. As a car driver it was bad enough (mainly people who couldn't reverse for toffee) - as a pedestrian or motor cyclist it was awful.....massive agricultural vehicles that filled the entire lane and were impossible to reverse. I walked it regularly with the dog and it was fine in daytime but a nocturnal amble from the bus stop meant taking your life in your hands from speeding cars...I may consider a bicycle as this particualr area is well catered for bike lanes...
