> With automobile transportation, the distance and antagonism are pretty much built-in. Only if you expect them to be. A lot of people enjoy driving.

  I don't believe I have ever heard anybody say "The only thing I enjoy more than the 45 minutes I spend commuting to work is the 45 minutes I spend commuting back." I'm sure there's somebody who feels that way, but I don't think it's a lot of people.

    I can honestly say this is how I feel commuting on my bicycle. I've always been blessed with beautiful commutes, along the water or across a bridge, and it makes for an excellent way to wake up when going to work and an excellent wedge I could drive between work and not work on the way home. I could gauge the stress of the workday I just finished by how fast I rode home.

    You must not know many motorcyclists then. Back when I had a bike I thoroughly and completely enjoyed carving through rush-hour traffic at 20 over the speed limit to arrive at my destination VERY energized and alert. Hands down the best part of my day.

  > A lot of people enjoy driving. "Distance and antagonism" isn't about driving, it's about the relation to other drivers.

  Oh, to be sure. Almost everyone would enjoy a nice relaxing drive along a beautiful road. The only problem is for most places in the world, we'd need either a whole lot more beautiful roads, or a whole lot less people.
