Time.

I was riding to work most of the time when my commute was 7 miles. Now it's 17 miles and the extra time it takes me to get home seems to conflict with too many evening activities. The extra distance is not too big of a deal, but knowing that it will be an hour and a half from when I get out of work until I get home is just.... too long.
