I'm one of the spoiled ones too. My commute is pretty long, 25 miles each way, but most of that is on a nicely maintained and scenic bikeway away from traffic. Here in No. CA only a few mornings in the Winter the temps drop below 30 for the ride in and it warms up in the afternoon for the trip home. At work I have a very secure bike locker (that I rent for $5/mo.) to myself right outside the entrance to my office bldg and full locker room with showers in the basement. I also have easy public transit option as a backup.

If that's not enough, the big boss also cycles and understands the occasional "need" to take off a little early in the afternoon for a longer ride home when the weather is exceptionally nice.

I've got it really good!!!
