No community effort that I know of. But my husband has started commuting. Four miles, lucky guy. I bought him a seatpost rack/ trunk. I like to ride and then meet him for his big commute home. His El Camino gets 12 mpg so we are saving about $25 a week on gas. Whoo-hoo!

My commute at this point consists of walking to the kitchen for coffee and back to my desk. When I go to the office it's a 22 mile drive, but there's a good 10 mile halfway point where I could park and ride in. I might give it a try.
