i've only been "commuting" to Church choir rehearsals and Deaconate meetings so far (15 mi r/t). I showed up to the Christmas Concert reharsal by car and just about everyone in the choir asked me if I biked in.
Someday I'll be that hardcore, but there were 8 inches of snow on the ground....
I brought my friend to hear the rehearsal. He lives in Davis, CA and bikes to work. He was cracking up at what a celebrity I am around church just for riding a bike. Totally normal to him. Not so common in the wet and snowy northeast I95 corridor, I guess.
