Two years ago I had to move as my apartment was being converted to condos. I purposly chose a location that was twelve miles from my job rather than stay in the area I had lived for twenty five years partially because it was only six miles from work. The other reason also had to do with biking, I had lived on the tip of a peninsula that didn't afford much choice in road or off road rides and had narrow roads to a place where I can go off in three directions for road rides on wide quiet streets and many more off road choices for rides.
