But yeah, the stress thing bothers me. I don't want to get complacent by driving in a car everywhere - then not want to go anywhere on the weekends or do anything athletic. Biking also helps me manage my stress - and if I have a crappy day now - I take it out on the bike path.
No, sorry. Most racers I know bike commute. For a lot of us, it's the only way to get in enough saddle time to be fit enough to race.
