would you have to be before you considered bike commuting on a regular basis?
Canadians, please list the distance in cubits or fathoms (your choice).

I'm within a reasonable biking distance, I'm just scared of traffic. 
I have a classmate who lives a block over who rides his bike every day

Riding in a lucky blue suit is very unprofessional.
I feel like I'd be a target on my 10 mile ride if I were to bike. And most of it isn't even on highway. I'd need to buy a bike too....
