My work is about an easy 15 minute bike ride through a forest on paved paths. Very nice. I hate it. I hate having to get ready. I hate the time going there and back. I hate everything about commuting, even for an easy commute like mine.

I'm the exact opposite, I love having a 5k bike ride as my commute. It helps clear my head and it keeps me healthy. During COVID I even rented my own office away from my home just to have an excuse for a daily ride.

You could've just gone for a morning and evening cycle. When I started working from home I went for a walk before and after, it initially helped me maintain the mental work/life balance.

I'm extremely lazy, the commute "forced" me to do some exercise and I promptly stopped when the WFH lock downs started.

that's crazy, because biking 10 min to work was my favourite part of going to work.i loved biking thru my city, and having the flexibility to leave when i want, get home fast, and take public transit if i wanted to.

tho tbf i don't work well from home, i need social interaction and less distraction. the bike ride was great to wake up, jam, or think about problems for the day
