I rode my bike about 2200 mi in three months last summer, including many trips that would be impossible on a bicycle. can you ride a bicycle 100miles in two hours? or 350mi in an afternoon. in 2011 I rode 650mi in a single day to get to the Vetter Competition. Bicycles are great for short commutes, and I have saved a great deal of money by walking to the grocery store, or anywhere else nearby I need to go. but they are not long distance transportation.
