Hah...I was being very generous with my calculations.
I doubt I would have more than 1.5 hours a day to do anything.
Yes risk losing everything because.
I dont think losing freedom is worth the minimal gain in cycling this way.
Yes it is good for the environment, our health, and good for our economy, but at what cost?
It sounds like I would literally be sacrificing everything for it.
I have heard of some folks doing distances like this everyday, but I havent heard of anyone factoring all of the other aspects I have to deal with.
It may be possible if you are retired, not working, not going to school, no family, no other aspirations or goals, but unfortunately (or fortunately) I do.
I think when you factor everything else in, we are looking at two different pictures here.
You are right. Maybe 2-3 times a week and see how it goes.
