We don't use miles in Oz; mine is 22 km each way. 30 minutes by car, 45 by bike = 90 minutes' exercise for only 30 extra minutes! (Made easier by the prevailing winds, which are usually behind both ways. The afternoon sea breeze in Perth is famous - especially during cricket matches - and is known as the Fremantle Doctor.)

Today was my first ride to work for almost four months - hit by a car in October with fractures to hip socket and collar-bone, and the driver is pleading not guilty to a careless driving charge! This was during a recreational ride, not while commuting. Will post closer to the court hearing date.
