Hi everyone. Im very new to the forums, and Im strongly considering commuting to work 14 miles each way on relatively flat terrain. Im guessing it will take about an hour once I get up to speed, I have a decent mountain bike (rock hopper) and a 85 Schwinn World Sport. Im thinking the Schwinn will be a better choice for the commute.

My question is, is a 14 mile commute something I should try to work my way up to or should I just go for it? I was thinking about taking a test run on the weekend to see if I can do it first.

Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

Pete.
