Ha ha! Well it depends on who you talk to! Some of us think it's pretty easy to commute via bike

Some say that this short of a distance doesn't require refueling/water. But I find that just 200 calories carb/protien after the a 10-15mi ride (one way) makes a big difference...at the end of the work day, my legs have recovered and there's no soreness.
