I got a 12 mile commute-- Pieca cake...

So the why the f**k am i not commuting...

Roads are wicked bad...They are not designed for bikes and most are one laners with the crazy suvs, trucks and minivans..
No bike lanes whatsoever...
I wake up too late that I cant take 40 mins to ride in..(If anything, this is the biggest reason)
If I bike commute I cant do anything social in the city as I live and work pretty far from Cambridge/Boston..

A good combination of laziness and roads..

OK. So, does that mean you are going to commute next week?

I'm sure you can find an alternate road that is not so busy. Think about it.

BTW: Most of my training comes from TT myself to and from work. Otherwise, I would never get in the miles I want.

EDIT: It's 1:20 am here and I've got to cut away. Before I go, folks, consider commuting next week. You won't regret it. Do something for yourself and the environment. You can commute and feel good all day because of it or; drive to work and go hug a tree. Your choice.
