Then don't ride a bike if it's too hard for you; not everyone is capable
of it. I'm not sure how you felt this was directed to you anyway; I was
simply pointing out to Jay that a 4 mile commute is usually quite
practical via bicycle. If it's really bad weather, use another means or
better yet stay home or at the inn.

You've actually got me thinking about it, John. I only realized what a
perfect candidate I was for riding my bike to work after this thread.

Until this year, I was driving my kids to school each morning. Now, my son
is riding his bike to school, and my daughter and I walk to hers. There
really isn't any good reason NOT to ride my bike, other than time and
laziness.

And we actually are seriously discussing selling our home and moving into
the Inn next spring, at least for a while. Man, that commute would be hard
to take! :-)
