I voted: "I could go to work by other means, just as convenient as by bike.", because technically I could take the bus, which would take about as long as riding in, and actually save me the time that I spend showering and changing for work.

The thing is, I absolutely detest taking the bus. I hate pretty much everything about it, being forced to listen to other peoples conversations, the stench of their b.o. or perfume, having to look out for bum piss, the constant stops and starts and having my knees being constantly slammed into the seat in front of me, etc, etc. Between all that, and the fact that I find that I'm irritable and unhappy when I don't cycle in, I feel like it I don't really have any choice but to cycle in to work.

We don't own a car. We can't afford one at this time. Some years, once or twice a year we'll rent a car to go camping or some other out of town trip and we have a friend that has an extra car that we occasionally borrow, but we're basically car free, so I don't have the option of driving in to work. Which I think is a good thing right now, I've still got a lot of weight to lose, and the few times I've had a car borrowed for a few weeks, the temptation to sleep a little longer and drive in (MUCH faster) and swing through a drive through and pick up some extra bad food was far too hard to resist!
