Driving to work can be fun. I'm a commuted bike committer, but on those rare days that I'm required to drive in, it can be a guilty pleasure.
Yes, sitting in traffic is frustrating, not getting my morning excercise leaves me groggy, and I just plain don't like taking the car out of the driveway. However, it's sometimes pleasant to get a few minutes more sleep and ride a couch to work. I liken it to spending a Saturday watching TV. It feels indulgent, warm, and pleasant...but by the time dinner rolls around, you feel disgusting, and you're ready to wake up early on Sunday to seize the day, get out of the apartment, and make something out of yourself.
I'm thankful that making the choice to sit on(in) the couch(car) is truly a choice for me. Unfortunately, for too many folks, the other options are unconsidered or unrealistic.
Too many bike commuters-turned-internet-personalities get on a soapbox (in my opinion), but the truth of the matter is that riding a bike to work just doesn't make sense for many people. Long drives, multiple children, lack of hours in the day...there are many reasons and places it doesn't make sense. On the other hand, there are many for whom it could be a possibility - but they don't allow themselves to think far enough outside the box to leave their car at home.
I'm not riding a bike to change the world - I'm more selfish than that. I ride a bike because I love to. Having a little bit smaller impact on the world is just all part of that.
