All I can commit to nowadays is the short ride (<1 hour)-- usually my commute to/from work. It's a great stress reliever, and I dread those days when I need to take the bus.
I think the Rivlosophy of flat pedals and regular clothes helps promote the short ride. I remember my teen years when it was a barrier for me to get on a bike: clipless pedals, bikey clothes-- how else was I supposed to ride? :) Now with kids, I can't get very far or ride very long. It's different, and good. Maybe a tandem could extend the ride a little bit further and longer. shoji On Friday, July 29, 2016 at 8:00:49 AM UTC-4, Stephen Kemp wrote: > > Forget the physical side - we're talking about the joy of cycling here! > My daily commute is ~12 miles so I get 2 x 30-ish minute rides each day > which is lovely.
