Prefer the term "inspired" over "converted." I have inspired 2 to begin riding to work. Credit goes to them, though - I ride 15 miles each way, and started for a number of reasons. One of those guys hasn't done much riding, and has decided to do a 14 mile commute (one way) on a MTB with knobbies - Target Schwinn. The other is a former cycling fanatic who started a 25 mile one-way commute a couple weeks ago on a sweet old Serotta road bike that he's had for years (decades?)
