Do you cycle everyday?

Do you cycle everyday or do you have rest days in-between? If you do cycle everyday-how far do you usually cycle everyday?

Well before lockdown I commuted 13 miles each way, 5 days then occasional utility trips on the weekend. Rest days are only required for intense training plans.

What do you count as an intense ride that requires a rest day(s)?

29 mile daily commute with a long ride most weekends. One day rest.

I'm on the bike most days for anything up to 10 miles.

Twice a week I try to have a 20 to 50 mile ride.

That feels comfortable to me.

I'd encourage @Anonymous1502 to listen to his body and adjust so that he feels pleasantly tired once or twice a week.

I had been cycling 15-20 miles every day pretty much since March

I‘m now on enforced rest following a bike crash , I can barely walk let alone cycle
To be fair I was probably due a break

Is that 29 miles in total for both ways or is it 29 miles one way only?

That's no good! Do you think you'll be back on your bike eventually?

Yep for sure, just a matter of when (waiting on MRI to find out exactly what I’ve done ).
I’ve got 4 bikes to ride 👍

Total.

Why don't you tell people on here what you do.

I try and have a rest day on a Sunday from any exercise - no weights, no cycling. Sometimes I will lapse and ride on a Sunday, but as a pretty good rule of thumb I try to have a days rest a week to allow my joints and connective tissues to recuperate.

At the moment I cycle pretty much every day as all my other activities have stopped due to the virus.

Generally 15 miles + and I usually only take a rest day if I'm planning a much longer ride in the next day or two or have done a much longer ride in the previous day.

I'm doing somewhere between 100 to 200 miles in an average week but I'm not racing anyone and just ride at my own pace.

I cycle as often as it says on my training programme. Some weeks I cycle 2 days a week, some others I cycle 3 days a week. No more than that.

I try and have a rest day in between every ride but often don't bother with rest days and cycle at least 50km everyday, yesterday I did 60km, Im trying to build my distance up gradually to cycle 100km a day.
