We passed a cyclist and he said 'I could cycle to work' it took him about 3 seconds to talk himself out of it! Good for you for really thinking about it and giving it a chance.

I'm not <i>too</i> worried about it since I've never seen it happen or even heard about something like it. I also gain some courage from my wife who isn't too concerned about it either. What she is concerned about though is where we would put the bike since we have no storage space, balcony, or bike rack at our apartment. She simply won't have it in our living room!<br/><br/>@ Amanda - Four miles does sound a whole lot easier than eleven. I think I could live four miles from work. Heck, I could run to work if it was only four miles away. But then I would have to buy running shoes - which would be just as bad as buying a bike if you ask me. One of my buddies tells me that 4 miles is also the perfect distance for a magic carpet ride, but he refuses to share with me because he says that I have small hands and might take his carpet forever. Anyway, if I find a genie I will be sure to make him do some magic thing where he will have to magically clothe <i>and</i> clean all those who commute under their own power. It will save water and make the world a more fragrant place - Miss America pageant here I come! @Kimberly – I agree, getting squished would be a terrible way to go.

I'm pysching myself up to do it. The 4 mile commute was ideal, the 11 mile commute is doable. <br/><br/>I probably won't do it every day but maybe 3 times a week. Main drawback for me is that it will take time away from my already hectic schedule. There are ALOT of hills on my new route so I expect it to take me close to an hour each way.<br/><br/>If you end up investing in a genie, please consider sending my clothes to work too, because carrying a back it a bit uncomfortable...
