The commute that worked was on bike/pedestrian paths along the freeway, and the largest risk was faster cyclists not allowing enough space. The biggest frustration was the fact that I frequently had headwinds both ways. And then the following job it was in a bit of suburb with no good cycling routes, no safe crossings of major roads, and it wasn't fun.
But maybe the next job will be somewhere that I can commute to, and I'll get the strength back. I'm definitely stronger walking than I was two years ago, so maybe cycling won't throw the hip out (again).
