I ride 5 miles from out in the sticks to the edge of town and never see anyone coming or going except maybe a kid here or there on a bike. If I get into town it's a bit different. I left the house this moring at 3:45am and never even saw a car.
I work with 200+ people and I'm the only hardcore commuter, close or far away, if I lived a block or two away from work and drove I'd be ashamed of myself.
