First, I live in the South. I know that if I ride to work during the Summer months I will be drenched in sweat before I get there. The ride is probably 3 miles at most, but it is so humid here that I don't see a way around it. I could change clothes before and after riding, but I tend to keep sweating for a while after I start, and that wouldn't be very pleasant for anyone.

Second, I live in the South. My city was recently ranked 4th poorest in the nation by AOL. Crime is rampant. Inasmuch as I work with precious metals and gemstones, as well as making the nightly deposit a few times per week, I would be singled out and targeted for robbery, I fear.

Third, I live in the South. Not known for it's intelligence, and despite it's reputation as a friendly region, it is far from accomodating of statistical outliers on the bell shaped curve, such as cycle commuters. Inevitably, the inconsiderate geniuses who built my workplace installed no place to store bikes.
