Not necessarily.
Whether measured by miles, hours or rides, the vast majority of my cycling is commuting. It guarantees I'll be on the bike at least four days a week. Could be anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour, twice a day.
The hard part for me is getting motivated to ride point A to point A. Why bother if you're only going to end up back where you started?
That's how I know my miles are likely to fall precipitously when I retire. Which is part of the reason I've pushed my retirement date out as far as possible. June 30, 2027 if all goes according to plan.
