Ive thought about getting up early and doing it but even then not being very tired and not alert while riding on the road seems even less appealing to me lol. I sincerely wish we had bike lanes here. I would be on that in a heartbeat!
I'm not a morning person either. I just like riding my bike more than I hate getting up before sunrise.

It does get easier. Really. Just keep at it.

Regarding your second post: I saw a lot of riding out of necessity (can't afford a car/one too many DUIs, that kind of thing) in Cleveland--and Cleveland has a relatively effective public transport system. They recently put in a bike lane on one of the main roads, and have increased signage and pavement markings. Someone's trying. I wish Cincy would get on the wagon. I think it's just that much harder in urban areas.
