I like driving to work. I can potter along in relative safety listening to the radio then go straight in without spending half an hour showering and getting ready. The journey for me only takes 20 minutes max, but I guess this maybe different for others who may have different routes and distances to travel. Each to their own I s'pose,

I actually enjoy my drive into work. Radio Four at 07:20 is enjoyable. Traffic levels are reasonable and stress levels are low. My route to work is uphill for most of the way with some dips and level bits to ameliorate the energy demands. I estimate that it would take me twice as long to cycle in as is does to drive in.
It's all well and good comparing journey times but if you factor in showering and getting ready for work and, in reverse showering after getting home, the time disadvantage of cycling in to work for me gets even bigger.
Next year I will be looking at cycling into work twice a week but only as part of a fitness improvement program. There's no other incentive powerful enough to make me consider making cycle commuting the norm.
