That would wait until I actually had a job offer. But given the distance between my apartment and the location of the company, I thought I'd better check it out and see what the options are.

They don't look good. Bicycle alone is nearly 2 hrs each way. The bus/bicycle is 1.5 hrs in the morning and 2.5 hrs in the evening. It's a 20 minute drive each way, but that will require thousands of dollars of investment in a car/motorcycle. Moving is fairly cost-prohibitive and good car-free locations that are affordable are located about half way between the jobsite and my current apartment.

If bicycling were my life this would be great. But I found the 1 hour bike commute to my last job to be the maximum I really cared to do. A two hour commute would be like working an extra week per month. But I need a job.

In looking at routes, when I had found the shortest route on Google maps, I went to mapmyride to get an idea of the terrain.
