Congrats......

build it up slowly and when can do 15 miles at a time, don't think you have to do that twice a day for your commute.

Drive in, Ride home

Ride in , Drive home

take a day off

drive in ride home

Ride in drive home

and then slowly build up to twice a day if you feel like it


What type of a bike gear do you have?


My standard recommendation for a longer commute (based on what has worked for me) is:

Road bike, with drop bars.... more efficient, more hand positions, better ability to deal with wind

good bike gloves

Bike shorts

bike jersey -

toe clips or clipless pedals
