Ah, gonna have to disagree with you. I used to love my commute home. When I was in CA I did a straight shot to work and a long detour on the way home. That was my me-and-the-bike time and I loved it. Then I moved to Baltimore, a city very unfriendly to biking and have had to hunt for decent rides since. One of a few reasons I'm hoping to move far away from here in the not too distant future.

(Of course I have to add that my ride to work was at 430 in the morning, which might have had something to do with the dislike)
