What stops you from riding?

Hills.

And distance.

The combination of the two are why I don't commute by bicycle.

Although I am getting some better on hills, I still struggle up them and I'm very slow. Plus we live some distance south of town. It would take me close to 2 hours to get to work (4 hour round trip commute).

I'd probably be super fit ... but I'd also be super exhausted.
