Amen! My commute is 7 miles, 35-45 minutes depending on traffic and wind. Most of my commute is on MUPs, which are really delightful in the morning, though they get pretty busy on nice spring and summer days. Clothing choices aren't an issue, in Boulder, even in summer, the temps in the mornings are usually in the 50's, sometimes even in the 40s. So I can wear my work duds on the way in without sweating them up too bad, and peel down to riding clothes for the ride home. I'm doubly blessed, as there is public transporation that can take me door to door in both directions during rush hour, and they carry bikes on the buses. So, we've managed to actually ditch one car. Makes the investment in a Hilsen seem a bargain. Can't wait to get back to it. And I agree that after that ride in the morning, I am in a much better state of consciousness to start the work day. I really enjoy the commute.
