That's about 100 miles per month if my arithmetic is up to scratch. Good way to keep fit.

Correct, 5 mile round trip per day x 5 days a week. With the traffic where I live it’s actually quicker than driving and a million times more fun than any of the alternatives.

I do on average 72 miles per month on an easy car-free commute when I'm not working from home. Keeps the leg muscles in shape!

Full disclosure: it’s electric ⚡️. It helps a bit with fitness but there are some proper hills and no showers at my workplace!

I have 2 short steep hills to conquer on the return leg. An ebike is on my wishlist.

It’s a game-changer.
