Love:
-that 2/3 of my morning commute is on a gravel access road with no other people, but populated by: chipmunks, woodchucks, muskrats, ducks, herons, snakes, snapping turtles, deer, otters, coyotes...
-that i saved about $5k in gas last year
-that i've gotten my flat fix down to about 5min
-that i stay in shape by the very act of going to work

Hate:
-the uphill right hand blind curve on the start of my route, where drivers feel compelled to use the shoulder as another lane until they see me
-the days where snow builds up enough that there's no shoulder and i have to drive (55mph county route, last stretch)
