Because I live in a hellscape car dependant suburb out of town, on a mountain. The town I technically live in is a 20 minute drive speeding, biking would take forever going in, and impossible coming back due to previously mentioned mountain. Working to be able to move somewhere I don't need a car.

they removed the bike rack in the parking garage. i'm not leaving my bike outside for 9 or 10 hours unsupervised, lock or no.
either way it's still walking distance so i'm only minorly annoyed.

Well if I did, I would need to use the train. There are several problems with that. Some of them are locale specific, some are just inherent flaws in the design of public transport as a whole.
So I use motorcycle instead.

I live in a shitty suburb when I'm at home and when I'm at school I can't find a reputable seller. I would use the local bikeshare but there aren't enough stations around campus to justify the annual cost.

18 km each leg with a hill in the middle - 100 meter climb to go 300 meters of climb when going back in the afternoon.
Office doesnt have shower. I dont want to spend one hour and more to commute an easy 20 minute drive. I want to keep cycling a fun activity not a divine punishment.

Front is a Ritchey WCS - 26 x 1.9
Rear is a Tioga Psycho II - 26 x 2.1

I wanted the Psycho II's front and rear but the front fork can't take 2.1's, could only be arsed to change one tyre.

Bike now has slicks.

I'd really like to try it, because I live relatively close to my workplace. I gotta do a couple test runs because my area is not bike friendly. Also sweat a lot and don't have anywhere to freshen up at work, so that's a little discouraging.

You’d be surprised of how little people care at work. You’re not sweating as much as the obese woman in accounting drinking her Starbucks milkshake.
Of course I work in engineering (civil design). Enough people are interesting that I don’t stand out.

Not that much, it's only supposed to stay below a horizontal plane from the upper edge of the lens. If you point it 30 degrees down it's only going to illuminate five feet in front of your bike and be completely useless.

I did and I still do, during the Midwest winter as well. Coldest I've ever biked is -15°F (even colder with wind-chill). Got to work one day and I could barely feel my junk. I reluctantly bought an overpriced baselayer at a Patagonia store after my shift was over so I wouldn't have the same problem on the way back. In my defense I'm both retarded and I just recently started living there.

but I do, anon. Here in britbongistan cycling is the quickest and cheapest way to work. Work has showers, provide a towel, soap, shampoo and everything, as well as a secure underground bike storage.

The best part of my commute is passing by cagies stuck in traffic, particularly in the afternoon where my journey takes half an hour it would take a car at least two hours.

slightly too long (15km) and bad infrastructure. I'm not going to cycle on the motorway. There are plans to connect my town to the next one with shared use paths, I've promised myself to get an ebike once that path is a reality.

I biked to work when my office was in a nice easily accessible part of downtown. Half the employees used transit or bicycles.

The fucking company moved the office to a business park in the middle of nowhere. It's inaccessible without driving on the highway. Now everybody has to fucking drive to work. The company won a bunch of awards and carbon credit shit because the new office building is "greener" than the old one.

Because it adds 30minutes to my total commute (15 there and 15 back). This is the biggest reason by far

Because it takes away from my gainz
