Bikes: 2 many 2 fit here

I've been unemployed an looking for work since mid-October. I've been continuing to ride as much as possible, the main impediment being the weather (not a big fan of riding when it is below freezing, wet or snowy - takes the enjoyment out of it for me). Nevertheless, I've probably been racking up 100+ miles/week, on average.
The silver lining of unemployment, at least in my case, is I'm able to search jobs throughout the country, with paid relocation; and able to factor in climate and bike commute-ability in my selection. Currently I have a few prospects in the South, so I'm pretty hopeful that something will work out soon. My preferred commute is 10-15 miles one way, on country or arterial roads, so that is something I look at when researching housing near prospective jobs.
