Hey, I think your dad and my mom went to school together as she has the same story EXCEPT in the winter she had to walk in neck deep snow while killer geese pecked at her head.
I had a friend who would bike EVERYWHERE he went. He had even attached a trailer made out of an old bathtub on the back that he would tow everywhere he went even if he didn't need to carry anything. He just liked having the extra weight. He lived about 7 miles one way from work. His truck was about 4 years old and had 4,500 miles on it, condition was like brand new.
When I lived in Guam I biked about 2 1/2 miles each way to work, it was pretty hilly too. After getting caught in a few rain showers out of nowhere, the brakes getting wet and not being able to stop, and finally the last time I hit a curb sending me over the handlebars I had enough. I decided it was safer for me to drive the few miles. I gave it a try though.
