There are four of us in the X-Ray lab where I work, though I'm the only long-range all the time commuter (16 miles one way every day). The others are either temporary, part-time, or bound by necessity (DUII problem). I ride in regularly with an old-time acquaintance who works about a mile down the street from where I do, and there are at least two more who work in the same industrial complex. I see them regularly on the rail-to-trail (Springwater Corridor to you Portland locals) that runs between my house and my place of employment--more as the weather gets better, of course, though a few run year-round, as I do. As the price of fuel creeps up, I think we'll see even more. Of course, Portland, Oregon is one of the most bike-friendly places around. I'm continually amazed at how courteous and friendly most--not all, of course, but most--of the cagers are.
