Ride mostly. The only times I don't are during expected thunderstorms (lightning and motorcycles do not mix!) and when I need to pick up stuff during or after work that won't fit on the bike.

Drive to work. Ride for fun after work and weekends. 25 miles of hwy with too many nutty *** cagers wanting to run me down.

I'm a bit paranoid though because the last two bikes I totaled were on way home from work.

For me it's a no brainer. To park a car anywhere near where I work is over $400 per month, a spot in the parking garage attached to my building, with security, only costs $75 per month. Cheaper than a bus pass. I've ridden everyday since the snow melted mid March, only been caught in the rain maybe a half dozen times. Actually rode thought a freak blizzard one day, but the ground was warm enough the snow melted on contact. I didn't like that much.
