I usually skate to work.
The direct route is only 6.2km but I usually increase this to just over 17km as I love skating so much. A lap around the Swan River in Perth is pretty nice at 0600hrs. Doing this 4 days each week plus another 100km or so on weekends means I get a lot of exercise each week.
I think I know how drug users feel. The rush I get when i am about to strap on the inlines is indescribable. I'm not sure what chemical is being released in my brain but it is a pretty good one.
I know a guy who (until he retired last year) unicycled to and from work each day. He NEVER took a day off and did many thousands of km each year.
Sure beats the bus!!
