Out the door and up the hill. At the top of the hill it is a gentle descent most of the way to work. Most of the route is on 50km/h roads, some with bike/parking lanes. 20 minutes on a bike and less stressful than the 10-15 minutes by car or 40 minutes by bus.
I used to have a car and drive it to work, buy my young son now calls it Mummy's car. After he was born my wife needed the car one day a week, then two, then three. I could spend 10-40 minutes waiting for the bus to come, then a 20 minutes journey. I can comfortably ride the whole distance in 20 minutes. I cheat and use an electric power assist bike with a 200W motor. This has the advantage that I don't need a shower when I get to work, and if there is a head wind I just drop a gear and keep going. Bike + electric motor = running cost of a car for 1 year. I'm ahead.
Biggest hazard are cars that don't believe bikes can do 35km/h. I had one try to pass me coming up to an intersection, realise they weren't to make it and moved left to try to push me off the road. Being in a steel coffin makes drivers very bold. Sometimes I'd like my bike to have a scrapy bit of metal that touches car bodywork before my shoulder :-) Unfortunately I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of it so it remains a dream.
