Not enough. I'd feel different if I drove.

Same. I only "commute" a mile each way. I go home for lunch, just to ride a little more. When I lived on the other side of the bay, I never considered riding a bicycle. Basically thought it was much too far. I look at what my commute would have been now and kick myself. I could have been riding 40 miles a day!

I hated every minute that I was locked in that cage when I drove. I love the bike ride so much that I wish it was much longer.
