This is a really interesting thread. It's amazing how many different reasons people give for enjoying commuting by bike. There also seems to be a common negative feeling of some sort when you don't ride on your commute.
I should probably restate that. I'm not usually upset right when I leave the house, but by mile 2 I start thinking something that eventually turns into this huge injustice in my head. This is around mile 3 or 4. By mile 5 I've started to think about what needs to be done to correct the situation and by mile 6 I wonder why it was bugging me so much (if I haven't forgotten about it completely).
It's only recently that I've noticed this pattern.
