I would love to commute, the distance is not too bad 7 miles each way. However the road that leads out of my area is a narrow road with zero shoulder and many blind curves. At least a few times a year a car loses control and takes out a fence, pole, or tree. One driver died recently trying to take out a tree. In my truck I have had a few near misses with cars crossing the double yellow into my lane on a turn. No way would I ever ride my bike down that road.
