Great pic indeed, and even before that caption I figured that was Seattle.

What I like best about commuting is how much more awake I am after an hour ride in early, than a 30 minute drive in, typically an hour later. I arrive at 7 when I ride, to minimize traffic, and around 8 when I drive. I'm much fresher at 7 than I am at 8 - even though I sleep an hour longer on the driving days.
