Anyone got any tips on how to get used to the mileage so I can ride in and out of work most days of the week up to a max of 96mph? …
Any advice/thoughts appreciated!
I am a decades-long, year-round commuter, and frankly I've never been able to ride 96 mph, even going downhill.
Seriously though, while I might never propose to anyone to take up bicycle commuting, I would heartily support such a decision. I frequently post to the commuting forum with advice derived from my own particular situation, but I think you will have to find your own way. If you ask specific questions, you’ll get focused answers.
If I was limited to one piece of advice about cycle commuting, it would be to use a rearview mirror.
