Not exactly city but still rather near to city center(15-20min drive), to a small town that's quite remote from most stuff(35-50min drive).

Expectation: air quality would be good, quiet, very far commute to work

Reality: air quality is mostly good, quiet, very far from work.

Surprise: there's one poultry farm nearby which make the air quality worst for certain time of day.

Not-surprise but still annoying: i picked up cycling after i moved here, and there's no safe biking path to the city, even the backroad still require me to ride on a few km of road, and some fuck will not give ample space when passing through.

Surprise but a welcomed one: i get access to country-side cycling route via backroad.
