Sir, – In articles that discuss working from home, the commute is often dismissed. "No one wants to go back to grim five-day office commutes', according to Pilita Clark ("Think that working from home is here to stay? Think again", Business opinion, February 15th).
Well, some of us do. I live in Dublin city and work in Dún Laoghaire.
My commute is an 11km cycle each way along Dublin Bay. It is my favourite part of the day; it wakes me up in the mornings and lets me wind down in the evenings. The exercise keeps me mentally and physically healthy.
Today I had to go into the office, and I got soaked without rain gear – my ability to make a decision on the weather has diminished.
Yet it was still better than another forced walk around the block at home. – Yours, etc,
