well, there's always
A way, (such as waking up at 4:30am to go on a ride before the kiddos wake up), but there's not always a
convenient way.

driving in the city at rush hour is more or less a wash (if not even slower in many cases) vs. biking. if i worked a night shift or some other really odd schedule, perhaps, but at 8:00am and 5:00pm, you ain't getting anywhere in chicago much faster than a bicycle for short haul distances.
besides, the idea of giving up bike commuting terrifies me.
becoming a bike commuter nearly a decade ago completely and radically altered my life for the better. i lost 70 pounds my first year, losing the weight made me MUCH more health and fitness conscious overall, being more fit gave me more confidence with the ladies, being more confident with the ladies led to meeting the woman of my dreams, which led to us getting hitched, which eventually led to the two most wonderful, adorable, and lovable (and pain in the ass) little munchkins i've ever known.
so yeah, i'd really, really rather not give it up.
