We are a one-car family by choice. I commute to work on my bike most days. I usually regret when I drive (usually out of pure laziness), and see the cyclists on the bike path. I have never regretted riding my bike to work, even when I've really had to push myself out the door to do it.

I know the exact spot where I start jamming and feeling really good, about 15 minutes into the ride. Before that, I just pedal through a nice residential neighborhood in DC and admire the houses.
