I'd love to ride a bike to work, but work needs to be within biking distance.
My company does have one office nearby, but not a department that supports my line of work there. I can use it if I want to, but with none of the people I communicate with about I could as well work at home then.

But who knows. Things are in flux and we might end up there. Then I do have the following commute options:
- Car (obviously)
- Bike
- Tram (plus 2 x 600 m walking)
- Canoe (err... Not keen as a sailor and windsurfer, but it would be possible!)
- Inline skates (haven't touched them for 18 years after hurting my ***... but there's a dedicated pedestrian route for most of the way, with some interesting detours as well).

As for my current commute: no dice. One of my colleagues has a pedelec (electric support up to 45 km/h) and frequently uses it for his 18 km commute. But my commute is double that and my physical condition is half his

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
