Bike to Work Day

I know these people. I don't think she does it anymore...and I don't think they did it everyday. I know she didn't do it alone when he was traveling.

Well now that she's 8+ months pregnant, she's not doing it, but she was certainly doing it well into the second trimester, if not longer.

If leftist pundits declared drinking urine a "Good Thing" proclaiming every June 5th as "Drink Urine Day", I wonder how many on this bboard would NOT do it?

  We met some people who are a five minute car ride away from work and own a car, but choose to take the bike route to work each day, which is 90 mins each way. That's hardcore. Or stupid.

that doesn't make sense to me.  five minute car ride ~ 5 miles (estimate).  shouldn't take 90 minutes to cycle that.  further assumption: biking has to take a less direct route, 10 miles.  that's still a half-hour ride at a very non-competitive pace.  are these people really out of shape?  either your or my numbers are way off...

10 miles in 1/2 hour...that's 20mph which is a pretty decent average for a roadbike on a flat road with no lights. If I'm out for a casual spin I average around 18mph, when we ride in a group on a training ride it's 23-26mph.
 
 If they're riding a mtb in town with all the stop/starts then 1/2 hour for 10 miles is flying.

Al & Tipper Gore's.  We've already eaten their shit.

My wife said that the woman said it was 15 miles one way.
 
 That would probably take me 90 minutes on my mountain bike.
 
 I have no idea what kind of bikes they were using, or how much of it was start and stop. Maybe they said it took them 60 minutes, I'm not sure. The conversation took place a couple of months ago.

Got on this thread a bit late.  I'm in Toronto for work.  However, I would have participated in bike to work day.  I bike to work every day.  Though it's not so much of a trip for me.
