I've driven my car to work maybe ten times since 2008. Hated it each time.
That commute does sound pleasant. I went on a ~15 mile ride on a different MUP last week and was thinking how pleasant much of it was. My typical commute has involved a lot of stop and start riding, and being able to ride for longer on a nicer path made me think about stopping and enjoying the scenery if I was going to commute on it.
