Well the thread may exist already but i specifically would like to hear from people on why they chose to commute. Whether you commute just a few days out of the weeks, only on nice days, and especially if you commute everyday rain or shine year round.

What made you start commuting?
Did you start for:
-Weight loss/ heath reason?
-exercise?
-To "go green" and be more environmentally friendly?
-To be friendly to your wallet and save gas money?
-Its more convenient and quicker than your car?
-It looked fun?
-You simply love to ride bikes?
-You dont own a car/ you got your license taken away?

etc..... Or any other reason... Also, has this reason changed over time and have you continued to commute now for other reasons?

Me personally, I love bikes and have grown up around them, also I have recently become more environmentally conscious about my carbon footprint. In Addition, the exercise and gas money savings is a great little bonus as I am a college student. I most days to college and to work at my retail job and other I race cross country MTB on the weekends. Bikes bikes bikes!
