This helps provide me some perspective. Thanks!

Ideally, I'll be pushing myself hard for a while because I need to loose some weight. After that's done and I'm just doing maintenance on the weight, I think I will feel a little less pressure to get everywhere by bike regardless of the weather, time involved, etc. But actually, so far, I've really enjoyed the long bikerides. I always appreciate having "space" for thinking in between other obligations.
