Sorry, didn't read all 8 pages.
But still.
My job involves supporting people who bicycle commute (not the hauling job, I have 2).
People make this mistake all the time.
"I have no cardio"
You (and they) have cause and effect reversed.
You don't bike commute because you have good cardio.
You get good cardio BY bike commuting.
It will be hard (and sweaty) the first few times. Probably a week or two at the most. Then it will get really easy, really fast.
2 Years ago it took me almost 2 hours to skate 11 miles to my job as a bicycle mechanic.
Now I do it in half that time (I do have much better skates now, but still)
