I’ve made an effort since I’ve lived on my own to live somewhere with good walkablity / public transit availability for my personal time, often at the expense of my commute to work. I’m now at a happy balance having settled in a medium-sized town with great walk- and bikeability, and I have my shortest commute ever of 9 miles. Unfortunately there isn’t a public transit option that I can take to get to work, but it is bikeable.
Agreed. Only thing keeping me from doing it daily (in good weather at least) is that I don’t have a garage, so my bike is always difficult to get out of the shed and around the back of the house.
Good news! Currently building a garage. Just need to get a seat to take the kid to daycare, and it will become the preferred daily driver.

9 miles is a really nice distance to cycle regularly.
