Work from home much of the time but when I do commute into the office I cycle. 24 km one way, takes me about an hour ten to an hour twenty, I love the exercise, and I enjoy riding, except when it rains. And it has rained a LOT this year, has also been very windy and quite cold for longer than usual. On really bad days I take the ferry which takes about the same amount of time and costs about 8 bucks one way. It is somewhat quicker to drive on the way in, but considerably slower coming home in the evening, and we have no parking at work except on early start shift, so I have only driven in 2-3 days this year. I have music when I cycle which is great too now I have a Bluetooth bike helmet
I like - exercise, the pleasure of riding, being out in nature (much of my ride is along seafront) - and saves money. And now it is cycle paths just about all the way its as safe or safer than driving
I dislike - takes a lot of time, over 2.5 hours a day, but that would be the case whichever way I do it. Unpredictable wild weather, unreliable weather forecasts, has been very cold some mornings
For cold weather get some riggers gloves - inexpensive but really warm!
