I am 38 miles via highway, there aren't many bike friendly freeways that connect them. I would do it for 20 miles or less.
i'd go 6 miles but it would have to be thru the desert with zero traffic.
Bicycles are dangerous! :hysteria:
Come to think of it... I'm pretty dangerous with no hood and no traffic...
( I have the Wizard of Oz music going though my head right now)

PS - Bicycles aren't as dangerous as cars.
An average of 16.5 cyclists per million die every year in the U.S. (For motorists, it's 19.9 motorists per million.)

I can almost guarantee you won't speed any more. :P

only 2.6 cycling related deaths per million in canada :wiggle:
I can almost guarantee you won't speed any more. :P I can almost guarantee I would still text, though.
It's 8 and I do. Previously I've pedalled 6, 7 and 9 mile commutes. The only jobs I didn't regularily bike commute were those that were 26 (I did on occasion though), 38 miles and 75 miles.
I'd prolly say 20 would be my flinch factor number.

1) wear underarmour/dri-fit type stuff.
2) wear antipersperant
3) bring a towel to towel off.
4) change of underpants
5) wash your cycling gear on a very regular basis to avoid compound smells
6) run your wrists under cold water for a minute when you get there to cool your body off faster.
7) deoderant and cologne also help.
it's not as bad as you might think (then again your ride *is* almost 3 times as long as mine)... :?
Trust me, when I get finished a run or a bike ride no amount of toweling and deodorant alone is going to get rid of the funk. I'm talking being able to wring the sweat out of my clothes by hand. I do own Under Armor and other "tech" clothing.

Well, that's the way it is for me. Others have more luck and of course women do not sweat - they "glisten"

Unless one runs into the other. :o
I'd love to bike to work. If someone can do something to remove the 4000 half-asleep, cell phone distracted m****s on the same road I need to ride on, I'll ride a bike to work in the driving rain.

Most bicycle fatalaties are caused by collisions with cars. Most car fatalaties are cause my collisions with cars. 8O
