This saves almost ten minutes from her commute because we can go a more efficient way through town.

Another strategy is to bike in, carpool home. The next day carpool in and ride back home! This can work great for me, where any variation of using the bus makes the commute longer (even the all-bus option).

I love this idea. Easing in to it, and making the commute manageable and appropriate for one''s particular abilities, is the best way to get started. And keeping it flexible and easy is the best way to avoid burnout and end up back in the car; it doesn''t have to be hardcore and "all or nothing". For what it''s worth, here''s an article on my blog discussing this topic: <a href="http://www.recumbentblog.com/2008/04/16/anatomy-of-a-multi-modal-commute/" rel="nofollow">Anatomy of a Multi-Modal Commute</a> Great post!
