I did buy where I did for recreational cycling, but if I ever move again, I will have to consider the ability to cycle to the store as a major factor in my decision.

PS - Right after I bought my house they raised the speed limit to 55 along the road I liked (which means people drive 65) on a 2 lane road, and added rumble strips to the middle of the shoulder.

PPS - Remember, chocolate mile has the ideal ratio of carbs and protein for a recovery drink...
