I too am on the cusp of a move that will drastically shorten my bike commute, though I'm staying within the same city. I currently live in the west loop neighborhood of downtown Chicago, but I plan to be moving to the Edgewater neighborhood on the northside of the city sometime this summer. As I work in a suburb immediately north of the city (Evanston), this move will take my one-way commute distance from the current 14.5 miles down to 4.5 miles, which is going to give me loads more time back in my day. It's going to be a welcome change with our first baby due to be born at the end of august.
