Great read. Thanks for the link.
I was kinda taken aback at this line though. He must have interviewed single guys and/or construction workers who get off the job at 2-3pm.
Very long cycle-commute times, e.g. over one hour each way, can discourage this group from bicycle commuting because driving a car for an hour round-trip and later cycling for an hour is just as fast and provides sufficient fitness for all but the most dedicated or competitive cyclists.
I beg to differ. I work untill 5:30 - 6:00pm most nights. Even in the summer, i wouldnt be on the road untill almost an hour after i left the office. Meaning, i would be spending less time with my wife and eating later than i do. Commutting gives me back some of that lost time.
