The main reason for my commuting is the fitness aspect. It is the easiest way for me to get some exercise. I also like to keep the the miles off of my truck, especially now with gas around here at about $2.12 a gallon. I have found myself riding more to the store and a few other places. The transportation aspect is becoming more of it.
Like you, maybe a couple days of week I will go all out on my commute, but most days it is a low impact ride.
$2.12 a gallon?? You lucky dog! Here in Socal, you can add 20 cents per gallon to that on a good day!
I started riding to work (14 miles each way) one day a week last summer, just for the fun of it. Now I'm training for a Century and hope to ride at least twice a week and save some $$ to boot!
