CHICAGO, ILLINOIS. If you see the same things every single day, pretty soon you may not even truly see them anymore. To some degree, you've probably experienced this. It can definitely be that way if you have a commute you get used to, too.
But if you need a change to that routine, an easy way of doing it is to try doing your commute a different way.
For years, I used to commute to work, as well as to school, in Chicago. And I used a few different ways to do this: Public transit, public transit and a folding bicycle (really), a bicycle, a scooter (the straddle-type that requires an M endorsement), a motorcycle, and a car. But it's been a bit since I've done so, as RideApart doesn't require any in-person anything. I have no commute.
