I am now into the swing of a regular and slightly longer commute. I live 12 km from work, and sleep at the apartment they supply me with at work on a Monday night. I sleep at my own apartment closer to town on the other nights. So on Mondays I only ride 12 km to work, Tuesday I ride the 12 km home, and Wednesday through Friday I ride the 24 km round trip.
With a few shopping trips to the side, I am doing a bit over 100 km per week.
This place is truly a bike riders delight. It is flat, with huge bike paths, a cager population that is used to riding with bikes, and give them right of way, and little to no wind.
Loving it in Chengdu
