I rode through 2.5 feet on a commute home one day, successfully if you can call it that. Lubing hubs and chain and bottom bracket cost me about an hour and a half, compared to saving maybe 10 minutes going around. Not the smartest choice, but I wanted to see if I could do it without getting bogged down.
