Had a second interview for a job near Barbican today and, assuming I get it, I would probably want to ride at least a couple of days a week (it's an easy train commute as well). I don't do huge miles but that sort of distance (13 miles) isn't a major concern - my commute is around 4.5miles each way at the moment, traffic dependent takes around 22 minutes, but I quite often go out and do an urban 10-15 miles at the weekend. I have done a route plan on CycleStreets and it reckons 1hr 18 for the fastest route - more or less Mitcham, Tooting, Clapham, Wandsworth, Vauxhall, Blackfriars. Being a pretty flat route, on a fast hybrid, 12-15 mph should be ok, but these are busy old roads, lots of lights etc. The early start and need to shower before work will probably be more a shock to the system than the cycling!
I am sure there are peeps around here who do a similar journey, does that timing sound about right? I may do a dry run on Saturday.
