Wow. Someone else commutes in Dallas. I have seen 1 other person commuting in the past 2 or 3 months and I only saw him one time. Crazy. We are really close to each other actually. I live at Hillcrest/Ohio and George Bush. I commute to UTD 2 days a week via Hillcrest to Frankford to Waterview. I don't have class till 10am so traffic has died down by then and it is not bad. I commute to Las Colinas for work 3 other days a week. I am not commuting the whole way yet. I am driving part of the way and riding the rest. I started out driving to Brookhaven Community College in Farmers Branch then taking Valley View road which turns and runs right into Irving not far from my office. I am currently parking at the Dart station on Arapaho and the North Tollway. I go down Addison Rd. to Valley View and follow that in to Irving. I have to be at work at 7am so I beat all the traffic as I get to work early enough to shower. I don't leave till 6pm so most of the traffic has died down by the time I change clothes and get out the door. My one way trip is 12.5 miles currently. I plan on riding the full distance to work and back starting this Saturday which will be between 18 to 19 miles one way. We'll see how it goes. My wife also commutes (fair weather only though so she is done for the winter) to Addison right by the Addison airport. I've found a lot of smaller roads that she takes that are nice without much traffic. I do drive to work one day a week though and take enough clothes for the whole week so I don't have to carry much with me which is nice and makes the long commute easier without having to carry a bunch of weight like I do to school.
