Before the baby, we were approx 6km from my workplace. I biked all summer and other nice days. Almost all of the way was slightly downhill so I didn't have to sweat much to get to work and I biked with dress pants, shirts and dress shoes. It was that easy.

Coming back from work was a different story, the bike time doubled as I had to go uphill all the way. I felt great.

After the baby, we moved further at a bigger place, have to transport the baby around, the bike's been freezing now.
If I had the choice and was almost the same distance, I would bike again.

For me  Time to work.

By Bike: 25-30 mins.
By TTC: 45-60 mins.
By Car:  10-15 mins.

Hmmm which one would you opt for???

[UmroAyyar]

From home to work

for me it WAS

By Bike = 13 minutes (15 on average)
By Car = 20 minutes
By TTC = 35-40 minutes.

Currently, I don't have an option but the car.

Owing to sweat ruining good clothes, poor road surfaces, theft worries,...  I walk instead of bike.  I will frequently take public transit as well.  I mention that as the poll might give the impression that if you don't bike, you drive.  Understandable given that this is an automotive forum.

Lots of cycling will give you a nice firm shapely butt. 

As for not having shower facilities, you can use baby wipes.   They are soft and strong and quite useful.

I bike to work in the summer. It's about 8 km door-to-door. Takes roughly the same amount of time (~25 min) no matter whether I bike, bus or drive in.
