I agree with you acidfast7. I didn't count the real rolling time, prep time, down time til you mentioned it but now that you bring it up, I completely agree. I figured it could happen but now on the other side, that's a lot of time out your day. My commute is only 6 miles one way but ride time at 25-30 minutes and down time is an hour. My day overall is a hour and a half. I only do it Tues-Thursday but sometimes I really just want to drive but don't because I figure it's only three times a week.
Yeah, I do 22.5-25km RT/day.
I can average 24km/h but I have about 6-10 red lights which bumps the riding time of 30min each way to roughly 40-45mins each way. It takes 5 min to pack the bag and 5 to get the bike ready/outside then another 20 min at work to shower/change/grab a cafe latte. Realistically, a 1h rolling time (usually 1h03m) easily turns into a 2h time commitment (more if I actually clean/lube the bike.)
However, it's still a better usage of time than going to the pool to swim for an hour or something similar.
