A year and a half ago, I reduced my commute by half (and cut out the need to across a busy interstate highway) and went from occasionally commuting by bike to mostly commuting by bike. I'm now outside a minimum of an hour a day and feel as if this commuting time is a gift whereas before it was a chore, what with all the traffic and angry drivers that I am now (mostly) able to avoid.
All the best for your move. Bloomington is a beautiful town.
