Are you saying you can only average 6 to 7 mph on a bike? I'm not very
fast, but I can average 15 mph on a bike. That means I can make the
commute in about 80 minutes give or take.


Try 20 miles each way in Virginia today. 100 degrees out there.


It was 90 degrees here, but I still rode 25 miles. I'd ride further, but
I really don't have the time on weekdays.

And maybe an expensive ride to the emergency room for heat exhaustion.


I just keep up with fluid intake.


My bike has an IV drip attachment for days like today. Mainline Gatorade
and you're good to go.
