    Do you live in America or do you live in one of the places where they actually require you to be a skilled and competent driver before you can drive?

        Is a bicycle an option to get to work? I’m guessing there’s no bus option nearby or running early enough to be of use to you.

        I use my bike to get around my entire city. I even built a cargo trailer for picking stuff up. It’s not the norm, but I get to places I need to be in roughly the same time I would had I driven.

            Ah well I can see that kind of distance being an issue. While I’d say cold is a solvable problem with bar mitts and stuff, that time of day is certainly dark.

            I don’t know your area of course, but maybe there’s an early morning commuter train or bus or something that could get you closer? For a time I rode to a station 20 minutes away, hopped on transit, then got off and rode another 15 minutes to get where I was going.

            Maybe carpool? Though it might be unlikely any of your coworkers also live in your town.
