@ AcornMan: I did my first real commute today as well! I go to class (which, being on campus, is incidentally also work) about 6 mi each way. I've never felt better about arriving at school (except when I run, but that takes exactly 2x as long as biking...and way sweatier). Surely, if we must develop a habit for things, what better than frequent exercise, satisfying nutrition, and healthy living?

I only mention the last two because they are nearly inevitable results of the first

Great to hear I'm not the first today!
