the bolded is 100% the opposite for me.
of all the things i miss about having a job (and there are plenty, like a steady paycheck and health benefits), my old daily bike commute is one of the intangibles that i miss most.
i try to motivate myself to get on my bike and ride every day, but it's just not the same without an actual destination that i have to be at come hell or high water, no pansy-ass excuses.
when you're going through the motions of doing something just to do something, it's not the same.
it's just not.
i really liked having an obligation to be somewhere every workday, even if i didn't really want to go. it was good for my soul.
