Or just any nice commute. My current commute is either a 20min lazy cycle or 40min run through a park. Nice showers at either end. Very few cars, lots of trees, flat paths. Often the best part of my day.
I agree - having to drive somewhere really destroys the appeal for me too. Used to do it, glad I don't anymore.
I've lived in Tokyo. Train based commuting is extremely un fun too.
