I ride for a living, dont on a car, so bike is my primary transportation as well.
I ride about 4hrs per day when working out of a 9 hr shift, plus errands and stuff on weekends.So far today has been pretty typical, did 8 delivery runs this morning, now its lunchtime, in about an hour my phone will start ringing again, about 3pm I round up my scheduled picks, and add another 15-20 runs to my day, and finish with around 50 miles total.
It sounds like alot of miles, its nothing really, actually if I was to just ride out in the country somewhere away from traffic and the city it would be quite easy tor rack up even more miles.Flat road,no wind, I usually ride about 24-26mph solo, you rack up miles quick that way vs the sprinting I do while working.I only avg maybe 12-14mph at work with all the stops and stuff, I dont ride that slow, it just averages out that way.
