You're not a Londoner, I see.

#3Post added to our action wiki https://didthis.com/bikecommute Thanks for inspiring us to "redo" & spread this lifestyle meme!
Re: Be happy Bike to work.
#4This matches my experiences. I ride most mornings before work since I telecommute, but it's the same idea. The positive effect on my mood surprised me — it only takes a little bit of exercise!
As an aside, please be careful wearing headphones when you ride. There are plenty of flame wars over that (and helmets, and brakes) over in /r/bicycling.

#5I agree with almost everything said here. When I was living in San Francisco, though, my bike commute was only slightly longer than my bus commute (not because I am that fit, only because buses in San Francisco are terrible). SO MUCH less stressful! I did notice one thing, though: I wasn't reading as much or listening to podcasts as much anymore.
I live in NYC now and fortunately I'm a very short walk to work. I can't wait to buy a bike and start riding again, though I'll need to figure out how to fit one into my tiny apartment ...

I used to bike to work in central London. It requires being alert, but it was far better than driving, taking the tube or taking a bus.
I never wore headphones though. I would have considered that suicide.

I'm a Londoner and I loved biking to work. I've really missed it since I've started working from home.

Agree with the headphones bit. I can't believe it when people bike in a city with headphones and no helmet on.

#9Please anyone reading this don't wear headphones, you've removed one of the most useful senses for knowing where there's a potential problem.
I'd love to cycle to work, the only problem is it's a 160 mile round trip, so it's not too sustainable. I've thought about cycling the journey from my house to the train station but then I've got the additional problem of dealing with a bike on a busy train (two trains really), storing it at the office (small elevator) so I keep getting the bus. If I ever work closer to home I think I will, everyone I know that does is in much better shape than me and generally a bit more awake at 9am.

#10The problem I have with this is I tend to uhh sweat more than a normal person. (Not because I'm out of shape, just because I sweat a lot...) I don't think I would feel comfortable biking to work simply because I would then smell all day and that's not exactly something I want to happen.
