We always take the train into the city... it's about 10 minutes from the house, and by far the easiest and most fun way to get downtown. For work, however, there are no easy alternatives other than working in my PJ's down in the basement. I do really enjoy biking for errands rather than driving... Home Depot, auto parts store, liquor store... the staples of summer :). I think I rode just over 750 miles the summer of 2008 in my last defiance to high gas prices.
