Yeah, I had a 4 mile commute, and didn't do it much because it wasn't worth the effort to get sweaty for such a short commute.

I do like the option of making it a longer commute when I want to or a shorter commute when you want to. Right now my 9 mile commute takes 30 minutes, which is just right! But some days I make it an hour commute to go home if the weather is nice.

I did buy a fixed gear bike to maximize the exercise I get in the 9 mile commute though. No coasting for me! :-)

Enjoy the family time!
