I have a 12 mile commute on busy roads via road bike, or can make it 14 on gravel and quiet roads. This takes me 45 or 1 hours respectively (typically less but accounting for a flat or bad weather or something)
The only reason I don't do it every day is I'd have to wake up and be ready to go a full hour earlier than I am. And right now I'm so bleh in the mornings that I cut it close in my car.
How do I get over it and bike? Every time I do commute I'm happier. But most times I can't coordinate it in the mornings. I think I'm depressed because I get good sleep but I just never want to leave bed. The idea of waking up a full hour earlier, packing clothes and lunch, riding fast enough that I can get a shower and be on time for work every morning seems impossible.
