I commute 2 or 3 days a week, 13 miles each way. For the most part, drivers are very courteous and give me lots of room. Of course there are those drivers who don't and I do get a scare one in awhile. I use my commute to ride my bike. I have a difficult time finding time to ride because of my three little ones on the weekends so commuting works well for me. I feel refreshed and I get my exercise.
