I've recently started a new job. It's actually farther from my house than my old job but significantly more convenient to bike to. 18 Miles from my house. So far I've tried doing a combination of driving the first half and biking the second. It requires bike deconstruction since my car is too small to fit it and I don't have a bike rack.
Bike in the back seat of my car - tight squeeze!
Have to take the front wheel on and off every time I commute to make it fit.
I have to admit I only did this two days before I got tired of the hassle and just drove (although it was in part due to rainy forecasts and then it was hard to get myself started again). Tomorrow I'm going to bike the entire eighteen miles. I feel like I have to because so much of the US is not bike-friendly, and here I get to live in a part that does have some decent bike infrastructure in places. We have several miles of bike trail that leads pretty much right from close to the highway to my office. Here's a video for you:
It's going to be so beautiful over the next few weeks - hooray fall!
