That is a consideration as well, as I've been actively trying to relocate us to an actual city. It is a long-term process because there are not many jobs in my field to begin with, and it would need to be a better job and the right city. Still, I'm hoping to get us out in the next few years.
This would certainly bring some lifestyle changes: probably more commuter miles and less recreational riding, and more public transportation and less walking. Over the years, I've tended to ride more for fun when my commutes were shorter; when I was attempting to bike commute between Denver and Boulder, that was basically my bike ride.
2019 could be interesting if things go my way
