distances that you might think are too far to travel by bike (to go to places other than work, school, and the store) might not really be too far. A couple people here ride a 35-plus mile round trip every day. For me, places within 12 miles are definitely fair game for the occasional bike trip.
Its not really the distances for me...its more about not being able to avoid the hiways to get to anywhere else worth going to in the area.
