I moved closer to work in order to be able to bike commute full time (50mi rt --> 11mi rt). I used to average 1hr in the car every day, now I average 1hr on the bike every day. Sure, on the odd day I could get to work in probably half the time (TCQ~2), but since I started full-time bike-commuting exactly when I moved, in my mind it's TCQ~1.
Also I now shower principally at work. I like to think of that as a savings to my CA water bill, but water is lumped into my exorbitant townhouse HOA fees... (grrr)
