I work in Engineering at a large manufacturing plant. 7.5 miles each
way.
While bike commuting is actively encourage it is not discouraged
either. I bring the bike into the offices and lean it against the
bookcase next to my desk. One other person, that I see, rides in on

I work for a state agency here in SF and my employer joined the
commuter check program. A couple of us asked for and got not only the
public transit checks, but also checks for riding a bicycle. So, I
I work for JJ and commute to a big (central NJ) campus, where there
are easily 3000+ employees. I am one of only a handful of irregular
bike-commuters, and despite having showers, lockers and a well-
protected bike rack, JJ does little to encourage bicycling to work.

It's between 25 and 35 miles from my front door to the office
(depending if I choose the safer, hillier, longer route or the
flatter, sketchier, shorter route). The casual (high-tech startup)
work environment permits bicycling to work, but there is essentially
zero promoting it (although I'm told
I have a 9-mile each way hilly ride to work in Seattle. The only thing that
keeps me from riding every day is fatigue over time. During May, I
typically do about 4-5 days a week, and by the month's end, I'm wiped. I
usually do 3-4 days year-round. I've gotten to the point now where I

More bike commuting/public transportation commuting won't increase

Not necessarily so. A few years ago I was talking to a retired Sandia
Labs employee who used to bicycle to the base back in the 1970s. He
remarked how many motorists exhibited bad feeling toward cyclists
that, today, with so many more on the road here in Albuquerque, you
don't see as often. I
Agree with JimD, the cyclo-commute is not convenient but I try not to
let that stop me and frankly things are pretty well set up for me to
ride:
-I am fortunate to live fairly close to where I work 7miles,
-have shower/locker facilities available to me in my office building
-a safe place to lock
I work at a tech company (nvidia) and we have good support for bike
commuters.
Lockers and showers are available throughout the campus.
I've been riding my bike to work extensively for the past several years.
My commute is ~6 miles one way.
I do it because I really like it and have a route that

I'm fortunate in that the hospital I work at offers lots of locations
for bike parking. I use the enclosed bike parking space but there are
plenty of other options and I haven't heard of any thefts or bikes
being stripped. My coworker locks his up right outside the ER and has
had no problems.

Mike, I rode through Portland this past summer and saw those
designated bicycle parking spaces downtown around Pearl district(?)
and Powell's books. They were heavily utilized too. It was the
coolest thing I'd seen in any town I'd been through. OK maybe it was
a tie with the bike lanes down
Very cool.

I think it would be a great idea if on the Rivendell site they would
add some pictures of new bikes in commuting mode - maybe some nice
shots around SF - by a cable car, around FW etc...right now there are
mainly off road pictures and camping pictures. While I am a bike
