You know you;re in the right job when...
the pedal on your Brom packs up on the way to the office, you walk three minutes to the tube, are delivered to the door of your office, and at lunchtime a five minute trip to the on-site bike shop reveals a healthy stock of Brompton bikes and spares.

I do - but although your friend seems to be having terrible trouble with his lifestyle (something he should, of course, not mention out loud, for reasons we all know, I hope), I'm not having trouble with mine just yet.

Ah, you see I don't view it as a 1.5 hour commute, I view it as a 40 minute commute with a nice bike ride at the end. Guy -- May contain traces of irony.
