I have just started bike commuting again. I drive to the train station, take my bike on the train and then have a 4 mile commute on my bike once I get off the train. It's mostly downhill on the way into work, which is nice because I don't get too sweaty, but that means it's mostly uphill on the way home.

I'd love to bike the whole way, but it is 18 miles and 36 miles in a day would be too long for me at this point.

How far is the drive to the train station? You could try going down to just a bike and train commute since the bike only commute is too far right now

That bike is going to get you places, I love those utilitarian Giant bikes :⁠-⁠)

Thanks for being one less car on the road.

And who knows, after a while you might be taking the scenic route home on the bike instead of the train on good days.

That's awesome! Fewer miles by car and more miles on bike/train is a good thing. Don't worry that you can't rule out the car completely.
