That cadence is far, far TOO SLOW! What are you trying to do to yourself? Build big muscles??
It just seems efficient. I can spin if I want to, but on the way to work is not one of those times.

Door to door car commute - 40 mins
Door to door cycle commute - 1 hr.
But the cycle commutes saves me 2 hours of gym, so I'm 1hr 20 mins better off each day.
Agree with the OP, it's madness when I see folk sitting in their cars and I whizz past.
Sorry if this subject's been raised before, but an article in this morning's Metro suggests the average commute speed by public transport is between 6.7-10.9mph. My guess is it must be a similar speed by car.
Dunno know about the rest of us, but my commute by bike is between 17-18mph average.
Need I say more?
Oh dear, when I put the OP in, it was never intended to be a 'let's compare our averages' thread.
It was meant to be more a 'how silly you are not to commute by bike' thread!
