Do you find commute cycling addictive?

That must be quite a low gear you've got there. And sticky tyres

It must be because I try to do it 2 out of the 4 days of my work rota despite;
- having a perfectly good car to use
- sometimes getting caught in the rain
- having to set off 30 minutes earlier to allow time to cool down once I arrive at work
- geting grief from my other half because I set off 30 minutes earlier and lose family time with her and the kids
- having to buy a second bike as a dedicated commute machine so the knobblies can go back on my MTB

I decided to go for a ride this afternoon. Couldn't decide where to go, so after a while ended up on my commute route.
Actually, it was nice seeing it in daylight.
Roll on the long days.

I have been off for nearly 5 weeks with holidays and operation.
1st day back on it tomorrow. Not looking forward to the cold and dark and rain but theres always those sunny days to look forward to.

It's not just the exercise making us feel good (if you'd seen the speed I go you'd agree
). It's just more fun to whizz around at 10 or so mph with your face in the world on something that responds to your whole body than to it is to sit in a chair going at 30mph in a box that you control with your feet and hands and a glass between you and everything else.littlelulu

I might not be cycling tomorrow, if thats then case then its 5 days, and I think im about to start to cry
EDIT: In fact, I can feel myself being in a "Arsey" mood even now at the thought of it, god I hope my £40 shed holds together, I cant take much more....

Certainly do! Ploughed on through the snow, 'cos I resented the idea of not riding.

Being one of those who suffers from long term depression, it's cycling most days or back to the medication.
Don't get me wrong I cycle because I want to not because I have to. At work they think I'm barking riding back and forward in all weathers, little do they know (or care) I would be barking if I didn't get my daily fix.

yes, and i find myself coming up with excuses to not use the car now. it has been known for me to go on the bike and SWMBO and kids go in the car with the bike rack in the boot in case i don't want to ride home.
Agreed, or in my case I have the little one on the child seat on the back, and SWMBO takes the car and any heavy items - the good bit is he LOVES going on the bike so I get the excuse that its really for his benifit not mine..
