I've been bike commuting for years. It was odd, at first, it seemed like I really did something big by not going by car. It was kind of liberating in a way, knowing I can just get myself there. It takes about 40 minutes for the ride. I've grown to really enjoy it. I use the time to listen to podcasts or catch up on goings on. And the exercise and stress relief. Nothing is better, after a hard day at work, to just get on my bike and ride. On days when I have to drive or its raining, I miss it.
