I enjoy it a lot more than driving
I don't have to stay on the road at all times
Cons:
Takes me longer to get anywhere
100+ degree weather (like we had for 68 days this summer) makes it impossible to bike in work clothes
My wife worries herself to death about me when I ride
The last one for me, too. I just bought a LED flashlight to use as a headlight, and I was trying to find some colder weather gear (I found a bright orange Nomex jumpsuit), when my wife asked (pleaded) with me to stop. She doesn't want me to ride in the dark, or in the winter. I'm trying to squeeze in the last commutes I can in the next few weeks.
so,
Con:
Depressed when have to quit.
