I know this is going to sound goofy, but I don't like thinking of my commute as "exercising" - mostly because I have a life-long aversion to exercise. I've got this dumb way of looking at exercise. It's "repetitive crap one does in order to ___________(lose weight/achieve a goal/"get buff"/etc)".

I know. It's stupid.

However, the only way I've been able to keep it up is to simply think of it as "my commute".

Bicycling is the only form of exercise that I've ever found enjoyable. I don't enjoy it because of the physical aspect of it. I enjoy it because to me it's simply fun. Knowing me, if I were to look at it as exercise I'd likely lose interest quickly.

Again, I know, that's a dumb way to think. Sometimes I can't help being dumb.
