For me, the most fun part of commuting is the idea of 'playing in traffic' - in a serious sense. I get to have fun on the roadways and interact with other motorists (most of whom are courteous), instead of being like everyone else and being stuck inside a car.

Plus, by the time I get home every day, I've got 80 minutes of cardio under my belt! That's 80 minutes more than I was getting when I commuted to campus by car.
