My previous job was 14 mile commute that just happened to overlap with my favorite route for getting out to the Western suburbs. So, I rode 50% - 80% of my commute on most of my weekend rides.

Nothing says that one's commuting route can't be fun, too.

My current job is in the downtown of the city, so I'll use the same route if I'm going in to eat at a fancy restaurant or shop the wholesaler's markets or drop in on Boston Common for Shakespear on the Common.
