Wow, some great replies so far.
I definitely think I'm leaning towards the idea that I'm not really commuting. I'm just riding my bike and 45 minutes later, I happen to be at school or at home.
It is a beautiful thing, though. A little background: I used to work in the north Ft Worth area and moved from Denton (about 20 miles away), to Grand Prairie, which is like 40 miles away on the south side of DFW. As such, my commute via motorcycle pretty much sucked. Highway 360 is notorious for being a guaranteed parking lot at peak hours. It took well over an hour by motorcycle and it rained a lot the first month after the move.
Well, long story short, I lost that job about a year ago now and went back to school. My bicycle route takes me underneath 360. This morning around 7:40 a.m. I approached 360 and saw that it was indeed a parking lot. Big. Grin. I rolled on underneath the poor souls and enjoyed the rest of my ride to school.
