Nothing new to add here, except that I had to drive to work on Monday - as I usually do one or two days a week - and I found myself feeling really miserable all day long. Someone on this forum once commented that "work is the thing I do in between bike rides." That remark has stuck with me and is now in my blood.

On certain days, I need my car to carry things and to be on call to travel a bit during the day. And as the weather gets cooler here in New York, I usually start to whimp out on biking to work little by little. But for now, the rides to and from work, as short as they are, are the absolute best part of my day.
