I'm in the process of doing the above and would like to hear about your experience. Were there any surprises? What was as you expected?

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.
