Good point. When we bought this house, I never considered cycling to work (only hippies did that!). Now when She Who Must Be Obeyed mentions going house hunting, I start mentally drawing a radius that's within a comfortable commuting distance from the main job areas in town, and then mentally X-out those that are on or over steep ridges, or don't have viable options to large thoroughfares, etc.

I worked remotely from home for a couple of stretches in the warmer months of 2020 and found riding in the morning was tough.
Now that my job has ended, I am free-lancing from home and finding it tough to ride in the mornings, especially because it's winter. I'd ride to office in 7F and snow and really enjoy it. But without the need to get anywhere, it is tough to get motivated.
I have begun a job search and hope I can find something that allows for a nice bike commute...although that is not the main consideration.
