Today was my first bike commute of 2012. It was wonderful. I feel so much more energy than when I drove. (drive-train-walk vs. bike-train-walk) It's been in the 70s for the past week here in the Chicago area, and I'm really enjoying it. When it goes down to the 50s again, I'll enjoy that too. Anything but snow or rain and below 30°F, and I enjoy it.

I'm working on my wife to look for a job where I can ride year-round without snow and ice making it too dangerous for my taste. I'll follow.
