Go, Statistics Canada! 
A moving finding — commuting isn't so bad after all

"In 2005, 19 per cent of workers who rode their bicycles to work reported that their commute was the most pleasant activity of their day. This was true of just 2 per cent of workers who drove to work.
However, 2001 census data showed that only about 1 per cent of commuters rode a bicycle to work, whereas 81 per cent used a vehicle.
...
Public transit users were less likely to enjoy commuting than drivers."

I'm way too much of a wuss to ride to work in this weather! too many wet leaves, too many drivers with bad wiper blades! (especially when riding to school with Greta and then to work!)
But I agree, the ride to work on a nice day (or even a mildly crummy one) is not that bad at all. The ride home (UPHILL!) is not as fun.

I've been reading over on Vox, but haven';t gotten an account or anything, so I guess I can't comment. Hope you are doing well!
