This might sound strange but I really miss commuting. After leaving college my morning journey has gone from 40minutes to a 5 minute walk.
I used to skate over a mile to reach the train station, endure a 20 minute train journey and then have a bit further to skate. Trust me, a trek like that in the wind and rain really wakes you up and was fantastic exercise. Now I flop out of bed, wiggle into some clothes and sleep walk across campus.
I still skate but its much without purpose now. There’s no time limit, no destination and no challenge. I have so few reasons to leave campus and if I do, the bus stop is about 50m from my bedroom.
I’m sure being stuck in London traffic isn’t the same but at least you have time to properly wake up.
