It's not reasonable for me to, so never. One worksite is 20 miles away and the other is 115 miles away.

my school is 20 miles away, job will be considerably closer, but down one hill, through the city I live in, and up the other hill, it's like 8 miles if I take the freeway, 10 if I have to take side streets.

the way the town is designed here its not bike friendly.

there are only two access roads connecting my little town to our neighbor town.

both are clover leaf designs crossing a 4 lane high way.

so while you may live like a few blocks from work or whatever, you are forced to share the road with oilfield frack trucks and other big rigs,if you want to ride a bike, otherwise you drive.

Well I ain't first class
But I ain't white trash
I'm wild and a little crazy too
I have seen a lot of things in my life time.
That is why I walk the line I walk.

I work across the Mississippi and bikes aren't allowed on any of the bridges close enough for me to bother with. Plus just in order to get to the bridges I'd have to ride along the freeway- which is illegal.

It takes maybe 3-5 minutes longer to walk to work than drive... but the only time I want to walk is during the summer... and it's free parking then

I commute to work & class by motorcycle 9x2 times a week. It is said that because of having to be hyper aware while riding a motorcycle, that is supposedly good for your brain.

Here never, simply too far away and the weather would rarely be cooperative enough.

When I lived in Holland I went everywhere by bike.

Well yes...because if you're not hyper aware while riding a motorcycle, you'll probably end up dead a whole lot sooner...which definitely isn't good for your brain
