When we lived in our other house my commute was 7 miles. When I worked night shift in the machine shop I often rode my bicycle back and forth. Walked several times also. Bicycle only took 15 minutes, driving took 20, walking over an hour. Once I got a daytime office job it just wasn't convenient to get to work with a sweat on. In the non-air conditioned machine shop it didn't matter.

Moved 7 miles. The commute increased to 9 miles. Takes about 20-25 minutes depending on traffic. Never tried to ride a bicycle after the move because of the sweat thing even though most of the commute does have a bike lane on 4 lane road the is plowed first as a snow route.

Company started increasing employee count and office space got real crowded. Managing email and servers did not require me to be on-site and I was taking care of my mom, boss asked if I would work from home. Moved my office that very day and have been working from home for the last 6 years. Only buy gas for the Cayenne once a month.

The company has purchased the land and is planning to build and move to just 4 miles from my current house. That is most likely 7 years away though.
