> When I was commuting 60k/day on my bike in shitty suburban conditions

Here I thought my 4.5 mile (7.25 km) bike commute was a bit long...

An hour and a bit each way, took about as much time as public transit and better than a coffee for waking up. A good road bike goes a long way, and the suburbs suck for road sharing but are great for not having to stop at many lights.

The winters were rough though.

I used to bike ~20 mi / day … back when there were offices. Just as fast as public transit.

Aside from idiots with cars, it's relaxing. Only some of my route was on the road, though.

Like the other poster says … The winters were rough though. I just didn't bike, though my coworker kept trying to get me to.
