>I moved a couple months ago and ended up significantly closer to work. The distance is 5 miles. Because I now live "over the hill" so to speak, the temperature will be significantly higher then the "other side of the hill", where i used to live.

>I've also been investigating Scooters. In the 50cc to 125cc range. Although it seems 125 is the better option. There's actually a scooter store across the street from me now. But they sell higher end 125cc scooters. The 50cc's didn't sell for them. Their prices start in the low 3,000s. I've seen Chinese import scooters that have good specs in the $1,500-$1,800 price range.

I had a contract I could cycle to a couple of years ago. I've never felt fitter. No showers there either. I used to take a change of clothes in a back pack. Plus as you get fitter you'll sweat less. Take it easy on the way to work to keep the heat down then really push it on the way home and hop in the shower when you get there.
