Everyone that lives under 4/5 miles away from work, I suggest you buy a bike, and cycle. It's what I do for college/work every day of the week, cheaper and better for you xD
Just a suggestion
Alternatively, no.
I cycle for pleasure, out in the countryside, off-road, where I can have a laugh doing so.
I have no desire to cycle on the public road, avoiding near misses by idiotic drivers (no, not all of them, but a lot exist), inhaling exhaust emissions, arriving sweaty, hot, and (if the weather isn't exactly clement, which is frequent in the UK) drenched.
I'll stick to my car(s) if its all the same to you.
