Hi, I am been reading the forum for a while and really enjoyed. So I thought I might try posting to it as well.

I have been commuting to work for a few years. It is a 12 mile trip one way for me.
I work 2nd shift which I think is ideal for commuting. I leave for work in the early afternoon before rush hour and I go home between 10:30 and midnight so there is very little traffic then.
My co-workers think I am a little crazy, but I can handle that. Afterall it seems like I am the only one that arrives to work smiling. They don't know what they are missing by driving. ;
I try to commute 2 to 4 times a week. Last week, I managed 4. It was a very good week.
