I started off with half car/half riding and only fully abandoned it this year really. Initially I parked in the same place every day but after about 6 months I would mix it up a lot depending on how I felt. I also felt better not parking my car in front of the same houses every day (not for any safety reasons - just out of a sense of courtesy I guess).
I always wanted to bike more on the way home so eventually I would end up doing loops before getting back to the car. Once I figured out how to stomach the longer early morning rides it was easy to make the full commute daily, but then it's only 10mi each way for me anyway.

Huh? They've had a congestion charge for quite a number of years now.
