I recently changed jobs, but the cycling distance has remained exactly the same. I used to depart from my driveway and ride to work on a combination of suburban streets, divided 4 lane, and country road. It was 22 miles door to door.

Now I load my bike in my Element, drive to the northernmost end of the Suncoast Trail, ride 14 miles on the trail, then take sidewalks alongside busy 4 lanes for 8 miles. Same 22 miles on the bike.

The trail is a blast to ride, but the sidewalks suck. Unfortunately the roads are not safe to ride, so I'm stuck on the sidewalk.
