Well, same here. Actually I didn't even consider commuting by bike when I moved, but I did at least know I didn't want to live "far" (what I considered far at the time, at least) from work. It's seven miles - which I'm now perfectly capable of doing daily, but I wouldn't mind living a little closer. It might be down to about 4 miles if we move where I hope to move in the next few years, which would be the best I could hope to do in foreseeable future while keeping my current job, which I intend to do.
