10,000 miles a year,
for 40 years straight without any time off for raising a family or doing something else on occasion., starting when the hubby was in his teens. Obviously not unheard of, since we heard so from one of our posters. I'd say
extremely unusual. Especially on one or two bicycles.
I haven't read on the Commuting subforum of anybody doing the same bike commute for 40 years in a row, let alone commuting 40 miles/day for any extended period of time.
