Does anyone do a long commute? yahoo maps tells me I am 36.2 miles from work, and that is using an expressway that goes fairly straight, and which is not open to bikes. I figure a bike commute would be 40-45 miles. I am not sure I could handle 80-90 miles a day. Any thoughts on how to work into this?
I used to get my wife to drop me at the train station with my bike, then take the train to a spot 4 1/2 miles from work. I'd ride my bike in from there.
My suggestion is to combine cycling with some other form of transportation so that you have a managable distance to cycle.
