I guess I don't really consider that an easy commute though I've done something along those lines off and on over the years. It's not bad like when I commuted about 90 minutes a few days a week. "Easy" for me is a 15-30 minute walk with maybe some mass transit mixed in there if the weather is bad.

And, yes, if I had an office to go into, I would do so some days if that were my option.

I'd rather go to the gym than be in a car for the same effect.
