If there were a safe enough route I'd trust to have my 2 yr old on, and it didn't add nearly 20 miles to my commute, I'd do the same thing. Round trip for me is normally 24 miles - I'm happy biking that to work ~3 times a week. Since I have the car on Tuesdays already, I've gone to ironing 3 shirts and bring clothes for the week in.
