My ride is 17 miles each way, when I first started it was like an hour and 20 mins. Now if I am over an hour I think I have been lazy.
I used to leave earlier to go the gym, and then work, but cycling, I get a lie in. Coming up for my second year anniversary, and have covered nearly 14,000 miles.
I love it, and I sold the car !
Once you get going you will look back and wonder why you never did it earlier. I do, every day.
