The only problem was once I left the wife's bike in the car, and I got a broken rear window from someone trying to steal the bike ($600). That ended it, but it WAS a great idea.
I so wish I could do this and still may try but I have not yet found a route that I would be willing to try. I would love to get in 20 miles every day though and this would be a good way to do it. My other probem is that a route might work if I could ride from home to a stopping point and then drive the rest of the way but the possible routes are just the opposite and I don't want to leave my car in a parking lot overnight.
