My commute started at about 2.5 miles each way, to a library where I parked my bike, near a bus stop.
When I moved, it grew to 4.5 miles one way, from the train station to work. I took my bike on the train, after my wife dropped me off.
It kept growing until now, I can ride the whole 14 miles each way, a few times a week. Evolving as a cyclist, I treasure my experiences. I know so many neighborhoods and travelled so many routes that I feel as if I am lost in a deep forest: I am sold as a bicycle commuter to the point that driving now appears absolutely absurd, and my cycling adventures growing ever more interesting...
