If you choose to live 50+ miles from work and commute everyday...you're making a compromise for a reason (spouse, slow real estate market, etc). But likely...you're doing it wrong.
I am seeing an emergence of physically aware programmers who realize sitting in a chair all day isn't an healthy environment. Biking to and from work gives some great exercise and time to clear your head.
pg gets ideas in the shower. I get them cruising on the bike. Same effect.

- Locke1689 16y agoFine but some of you biking zealots (bikees? bikees) need to realize that some people can't or don't want to ride a bike to work. The article wasn't completely about bikes, you're forgetting that there are options other than cars and bikes. The task for new developments is to build up a good system of public transportation. I think we should see that long before we see everyone biking to work. (Btw I actually run to work.)
