I'm in my 20th year of bike commuting, riding to a train station, about five miles by the direct route. If the weather is particularly nasty I just don't go to work. That happens maybe five times in a year.
So for sure I have an easier commute than many here.
But since I started commuting by bike, I haven't driven to the station once. My only other way of getting to the station is to have my wife drive me. I think that's happened about twice, I'm not sure because I can't remember why I couldn't ride. It was something unusual, though, like recuperating from hernia surgery.
