Speaking for myself, it hasn't always been the case that it was strictly by choice. Necessity became habit, which was the genesis of unexpected benefits, which engendered the choice. I'm not a fanatic about it either, but I seldom have a strong enough reason to not commute by bike any more.

Today was another all-streets day since the creek is still almost 3 feet above the banks, which would be almost hip deep in places along the path. I don't really mind because I enjoy the smoother road and the straight-line speeds, but I'm missing the early morning peacefulness of the Greenway.
