I did. Moved from a place 3 miles from work to one that is 7 miles away. I cheated though. The 3 mile route ended with a killer 1 mile long hill, plus at the beginning of that route I would have had to make a near-impossible left turn into heavy traffic.
My current residence (better digs by far
), is 1/2 mile from a bike path which connects to a 40 mph road into work with a middle turn lane the whole way.
