Nice ride in today. After about 4 kms of my 15+ km commute I spotted a colleague heading for the bus. About half an hour later we happened to meet again as we arrived at the office door. I told him where I had passed him and he immediately pointed out it took us the same time to commute that distance.

He was only dropping his car there, his full commute would be 45 kms, but he told me he would really like to try and commute by bike. He had already made plans to maybe ride one way 4 times a week, and take the bus for the rest of the trips. All he needed was a reliable bike and some encouraging words, so we chatted about bikes and practicalities involved in commuting by bike for a while there. I hope he goes for it.
