Some of my coworkers are curious about my biking obsession but most are dismissive, particularly as it gets darker and colder. The guy is clearly nuts... which is what I would have thought a couple years ago. I moderate my addiction by driving into work now and then. But it's unsatisfying. There's no adventure in it.
