I work 17 hilly miles from home, and arrive at 7 am. There are no showers here, and the location is not served by public transit. It's a professional office environment; arriving all sweaty isn't an option. I used to commute by bike until the company moved too far away to make that practical. Now a car is the only rational way to keep my job.
