I stopped using my bike to comute when I got my first car at 18, 45 years ago. I never seriously considered going back to it for regular commuting.
But since you brought the subject up it got me to thinking. There were many days after my shift at a local restaurant washing dishes and doing other chores that I really did enjoy the 5 -6 mile ride home except in a storm or on a nasty winter day. Even at 1:00 am.
One of my fellow workers used to ride a bike the 10 miles to factory I retired from every day. No amount of snow or extreme cold could stop him. He was so fit, his extremely low pulse and blood pressure had the factory nurse ready to send him to the hospital.
At 280 lb he went though a road bike every year. Funny, I never pictured a diehard cyclists being 6' 4" and 280 lbs.
