[QUOTE=HawkeyeCubs34;17027435]It's nice to kill two birds with one stone: turn your commute into your workout.

Agree. No brainer for me - After work, I gotta do an errand across town and I still have to get a workout in. Why not ride (and maybe ride hard) to the errand. This saves time - two bird thing.

Fun? I'm jealous of you all that honestly commute for "fun." I've been commuting approaching five decades now; it's never been FUN for me necessarily. Have I ever had fun on a ride/commute. Ya, I guess, but am I in such a minority to ride for a workout and an errand and for time and convenience first? It's so much less hassle in a mid-sized town (car vs. bike): Easier/faster in rush hour. Easier to park. Faster on short errands. If these points are the factors in making commuting "fun" then I'm on board with the "fun" folks. Commuting for a workout? Yes, sometimes. Convenience/ease? Absolutely. But fun? . . .

Stick in the mud or honest?
