When I lived in a college town (Columbia, MO - where AndrewJ lives now) I rode my bike to school/work every day, in all types of weather. Basically everywhere in town I needed to get to was within 2.5 miles and not too many small hills. I was broken in when I was doing an engine swap in my mustang and my other car had electrical trouble for 6 months, and I liked it so much from that period that I kept doing it.
Like FrankLee said, it's good for your body. I lost 50 pounds.
